The can get a bit wrecked when the rooster and hens won't leave each other alone (pecking on each other). They usually grow back through the winter time and/or molting season. I have had to separate some hens at times.

Friend I want to say this as well, God bless you too. You seem like a pretty good guy to me and we need more people like you in this world. I have bought chickens from cackle hatchery and they seem to be, okay. But I'm really curious what Hatchery you like, so let me know. Peace brother.

We ordered all of our chickens from www.mcmurrayhatchery.com. The buffs are big but the australops are not so big. Our chickens peck on certain ones and the australops are often at the bottom of the pecking order. We have had to separate them from time to time so they can recover. We had an australop set on eggs and hatch them for us, she was a good momma too. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a blessed day. God loves you so much. Keep the faith brother.

My friend thank you for making this video. I've had chickens for many years and the buff orpington probably would be the number one that became broody, and I don't think I ever had a black Australorp that ever set. Where did you get your black australorps from? I know that there taking away the broodines out of the hens so they will produce more eggs therefore we get inferior chickens as far as I am concerned. They don't have the characteristics as they should have, for instance buff rocks, they were really big and fluffy more so like a Cochin.Now we see chickens that are too leggy. I had buff rocks that made good Setters and mothers and I see buff rocks in 2018 that looks like a leghorns in type as well in buff orpington. I would like to know where I can find buff orpingtons that were true to type from some Hatchery,if you know of any please let me know I greatly would appreciate it. I ordered several years ago now from, Marty's Hatchery and they were true in all characteristics how buff orpington should be. Mrs. Marty had a great Hatchery and her daughter has taken over that they get eggs from Ideal Hatchery because they sold the breeder flock if my mind serves me right. Her buff orpington eggs feathered out very quickly and we're huge and had big legs and we're white and not yellow legs. I prefer yellow legs on a chicken, myself yet I understand the standard of perfection. I've said too much I'm sorry I have written such a book here. LOL. If you know of a hatchery that has really big, black australorps and have big buff orpingtons, please do let me know. I noticed that your chickens had lack of feathers, what causes that? Are they in a molt, or do they have lice? Thanks for any of your input.

broodiness is a gene. they do breed it out by breeding eggs from non broody hens only. if you want a flock of broodies, when you get a broody hen, trap nest her so you can keep all her eggs in one nest, and allow her to hatch only her eggs. by repeating this generation after generation, you will eventually get an entirely broody flock. good luck!
