I'm not a big fan o...@ Tilly, Thanks for that. I'm not a big fan of Silkies. I really like big, fat hens. And I'm so torn because I love a mixed flock. But I think I should just get two more Orpingtons next spring. I might buy four chicks and raise them and then choose the two who I love the most and give or sell the other two. The reality is, the eggs all taste the same regardless of color so get the hens who you feel the most connection with.Flock Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655524576977244762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267410526498787978.post-41706235397990853142011-10-14T12:10:19.025-07:002011-10-14T12:10:19.025-07:00Oh Flock Mistress, I can understand but it sound l...Oh Flock Mistress, I can understand but it sound like everything is going to work out. I would do two Buff Orpingtons. Australorps can be a little bossy. Or, have you thought about 2 Silkie Bantams. They will be happy to be a the bottom of the pecking order, together as best friends :) Hugs to you! ~MelissaTilly's Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594335692192127385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267410526498787978.post-50921556361367004472011-10-09T08:14:53.747-07:002011-10-09T08:14:53.747-07:00Cake Chick, I've heard from so many that their...Cake Chick, I've heard from so many that their BR's are so docile, but I've also heard from some that they have a bossy one.

I guess I have all winter to decide.Flock Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655524576977244762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267410526498787978.post-39199770516491155182011-10-08T18:30:57.892-07:002011-10-08T18:30:57.892-07:00I am partial to the buff orpingtons too, but I thi...I am partial to the buff orpingtons too, but I think it has to do with the chicken too. We have a barred rock that I was worried about and she is practically a lap chicken.
