I raised 27 chickens for my brother's farm in my garage up until their first 6 weeks. I didn't want them to imprint on me so I didn't touch them for the first month. The buffs at week 5 were by far the most willing to take chances getting to know me. They were the first to fly from on top of their waterer up to the edge of their cardboard enclosure and let me walk around with them in my hands. Sweet birds. They all go crazy for cucumbers.

I love my buffs. Friendly, cuddly and awesome birds. Smart too

Very health birds. I just got three Buff Orpingtons and three Rhode island red. Happy with the bird I picked.

As a Buff Orpington lover as well, I truly appreciate you sharing your beautiful birds with us. I love the idea of wetting small amounts of feed to make an oatmeal consistency. I will give it a try with my next batch of chicks and see how they like it. It would be really nice if it reduces the amount of feed wasted. Thank you so much!

We love our Buffs. They are beautiful birds. They look so nice wandering across the farm. Just subbed to your channel.

Thank you! Just an FYI, we are not harvesting any of them! They are all for eggs.

looks like you put a lot of love and effort into them. for as many as you have the space does look a little on the small side if i'm being honest. we have 4 ladies and our permit requires we have a minimum of 5 square feet per bird in the run plus an additional 4 square feet in the coop. our enclosure is 96 square feet total and still is too small for them (it feels) to be locked in all day. i let them free range for 1.5 hours at the end of the day so they can be supervised while I sit outside with the dogs. we sit on almost a 1/2 acre and they love it. their quality of life at the end of the day is still better than those of the birds who are on large production farms, but still we have to just do the best we can to do what's right. i wish you all the best.

You stole my birds!! hahaha Mine are getting a little stir crazy being locked up for the past couple of days with rain. Their run looks like a bombing run hit it with all the holes they've dug. The property is blessed with redworms and they love the baby worms that come up when it rains.

I have four Buff Orpington chickens and two Rhode Island Reds for laying eggs. All six of them are real characters, I love them. I came across your channel by mistake and am glad I did, I have just subscribed to you. Thanks for posting this video.

Buffs are my favorites. Thanks for the feed tips! Cabbage n vinegar keeps the worms away. Better than adding to water.

super chickens and super video I'm really looking forward to the next movie yet

cute chicken! The feathers are shining!

I think someone bred them specifically for the floofy butts 😂

Beautiful hens and beautiful color....I love buff orpington.....😊🥰🥰

i grown up in viliagee with my grandparents and we had a lot animals in there in farm i had one of these as a pet called yellow back in 1980s lived 10 years one day i promise i will go back and have full farm of animals included chickens back in Balkan we used fresh grinded corn actualy grandparents was wish i could go back missing back then our was outside runn but loved also go in cops and lay big eggs , your chickens are very cute ❤

We are wanting to get some Orpingtons too, and yours are absolutely beautiful and super quiet! I have been doing a lot of research, and seems Orpingtons are one of the easiest and friendliest to take care of, and also the most quiet. I watched another lady's video, and her Buff Orpington's were quite noisy! Had me wondering if we shouldn't get any at all. We don't have a lot of room here, but we do have more than you have. I think your space is great for your chickens, and they seem very healthy and happy! I love how you've done everything! I just worry our neighbors will complain if we end up getting some. The neighbor right behind us, has her fence about 15' from where we would keep them. It would not be good if they were noisy and bothersome for her or other neighbors. We'd probably get in trouble with the city and have to get rid of them. Our neighborhood is SUPER quiet, so, I'm afraid the chickens will be heard. I read quail are really quiet, much quieter than chickens, so now considering those. Also, some of these people are so rude. Completely unnecessary! Ignore them.

Yeah i have one buff that lately has been pretty loud. I think she is about to start laying. Hopefully she starts to calm down once she starts laying like our first one did.

What a beautiful place and chickens! Congratulations - keep loving your chickens.

Awesome video!

They look so beautiful thank you for taking time to make a good video+

Beautiful birds they look well taken care of 👍

They are so cute 💖

You are definitely doing what you can with what you have... You are definitely a homesteader at heart.... I would go for it if you are ever able

Beautiful chickens

They look so amazing 🥰🥰🥰

Beautiful buffs and I love how attentive you are with them. I am told I spoil my girls, but you are right up there with me. cold melon, blueberries, live mealworms, and frozen zoodles when it is hot. Water bottles and ice water during high heat Texas days. Great video. I don't care whose video I watch, the chicken critics are always in the comments. Your girls are beautiful, happy, and healthy! ; )

Aww, they look so healthy

Your birds are in such a good condition.

Such cuties!!!

Healthy little buggars

I make watermellon konfyt out of the skins, makes a great preserve. Also feed some to the girls as well.

Love my buffs

yup, they walked off that feed

If i had to only have one breed it would be buffs

Nice

our buff is named Puff! even though our flock of 4 also consists of 2 australorps and a black star, shes the best! She loves to give hugs! Also where do these buffs live? it looks tropical there!

no bugs no grass make up for that

Not if they’re fed enough on a regular basis. If they eat too eagerly when you bring them food, they’re not getting enough throughout the day. Chickens are designed to eat all day long.

i must subscribe you.

Those birds should have Laying palette

Long time chicken lady first time Buff's - beautiful girls. As with mine (now 20 wks) the pronouced red combs and waddles are throwing me. Are they all Hens? Thx in advance :)

There's a ghost repeating everything you say.

They look decent but they need much more animal protein. Chickens are naturally omnivores and they love to hunt and forage for bugs, worms, lizards, mice etc. if you incorporated more of those items into their diet, you’d get eggs with deep orange yolks.
