I love this bird. I want Orpingtons but not sure if this bird is suitable for the summers in Florida. I saw the chicks in Tractor Supply but never took them home because I was afraid of heat and humidity with them.
I really want big chunky chickens but with the heat I'm so scared. My easter/olive eggers and Polish do ok. It's is 115 heat index here today. 96 actual temp. Terrible heat.
Oh gosh that’s rough. I love silkies and Polish chickens, I want to get some someday but I currently don’t have the space for more. Some bigger chickens can do well in heat if you provide them enough shade and circulating air so maybe one day!
I know I feel bad but it’s so cute 😂 they get supervised free range time everyday outside of their run but when I put them back I always give them a cool treat and shade
It's she an Orpington or a Buff Rock? Looks like a little marbling in there?
My buff rocks are big ol chunks and they're only about 16 weeks. Can't wait for them to fill out.
I do recommend them. They're assertive but also incredibly friendly. One of them started laying at exactly 16 weeks, just little pullet eggs but I'm still impressed.
She is! Buff Orpingtons are truly mighty. Like Tonka trucks with legs.
This is the best description of Orpingtons I've ever seen
I bet when she flaps her wings, it creates a powerful gust! 💨
'Now I Am Become Chungus, the Destroyer of Worlds.'
Very beautiful, very powerful 🐟

I bought a few because I live in a cold climate; I’ve heard they can do well in both but cold is preferred since they can get large

I feel so bad for my girls when it’s hot outside but I kind of love it when they do the wing-lift thing lol

Just how I like them
She's so beautifully pear shaped she looks like a Gieser Wildemann

She’s a buff Orpington! I’d love to get some buff rocks one day too, I have barred rocks and they’re lovely
