Lewis Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) How big have they got!?! - Right click > Save Picture As... "Father look!" He pretends to not want any more bocks ... but every time we go to the farm he always asks what 'those chickens' (Buff Orps) are and says he wants some ... and son we'll have more room in the WIR These are so Maybe I'm getting a bit carried away, sorry Edited February 16, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Lovely can we see some more of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillC Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 So pretty. But are they really an unfriendly breed? Or can you train them up with lots of handling and stroking of those lovely fluffy feathers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 No, they are very friendly - our buff was scatty though. The more you handle the better they get, although I think in hindsight I should have started with perhaps a bantam version - they are such monster flappers when you pick them up - and if you've only handled a wood pigeon before it's a big difference - especially when you get clocked on the nose by a wing.

Tell me about it!! I have the scars on my arms to prove it this morning!! Whilst removing the evil giant pancake (Brandy, buff orps) from the cube nest box she did a bok, flap and wriggle and the ends of a feather caught me and left a nice long scratch! Once she was out and tucked in my arms she was snuggled and purring My other Orps are very friendly, much easier to tame than my hybrids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom123 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks for the PM Lynsey, hadn't seen this! They are lovely, they've got so big They're probably as big as Kellogs (My orp boy!) Colour wise, Bumble looks to me like a Blue x Buff as she nearly has the same colouring as a Blue Buff Colombian which is formed using those two colours. Pepsi is either the same as Bumble but just slightly different colouring or maybe a Blue x Gold Laced. Hope that helps CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 thanks Tom, just had me wondering. they are sisters so I guess just different variations of blue x buff but who knows and I dont care cos I loves them! but I love pepsis feather markings, Bumble has them too but not clear in that photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
