There are different types of Orpingtons which all share the same wonderful personality. There are blue Orpingtons, Lavender Orpingtons, and of course the Buffs. Some breeders are even offering other breeds of Orpingtons that are so special and beautiful. I really love their personalities. They are great with kids (and families), My only advise to you is to handle them often, often, often when they are babies and growing up that first year. As long as you do that, you'll have hen's as precious as ours! Enjoy your chicken endeavor!!!<br /><br />Kelly Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12127161706338879963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002032524933990775.post-27108314614638513422014-02-06T19:13:58.624-05:002014-02-06T19:13:58.624-05:00Thank you very much Susan!

Not only do you have amazing chickens, but an amazing family. I am sorry you lost Dixie. I am going to start chickening this spring. Eggs are secondary, the best to me would be the experience for myself and grand kids. I want 4 hens. Should I get all Buff Orpingtons or a mixture of breeds, like 2 Orpingtons, and one Austerlop and one Easter Egger? By the way you site has a really great spirit about it. Thanks.

It's really hard to get blogs noticed, so I was wondering if perhaps you could stop by and either follow her blog or leave a comment? She would really appreciate it. (She doesn't know that I'm doing this, I want it to be a surprise.) Thank you!

In answer to your question though, one thing to keep in mind with chickens is that they are heavily feathered which can become quite a hindrance for them in very hot conditions. When choosing a place for their coop and run, be sure that they will have plenty of shade. For me, my coop and run happens to be on the north side of our shed which would give the girls plenty of shade if they needed it. I free range my chickens, so it's not really much of an issue anyway. If you plan to keep your girls confined, then shade is a must. If you haven't already, you may want to check out my <a href="http://ourcountrychronicles.blogspot.com/2012/02/coop-management.html" rel="nofollow">"Coop Management"</a> blog post.

Your blog and your pictures were awesome and very helpful. I think I'm going to do basically the same thing you did except I have an inclosed porch. It isn't airconditioned and I live in Georgia. Do you think it will be to warm for them? I love your blog and find it very informative! I can't wait to get my chickens.

They are hardly eating ANY commercial feed. I always have it available for them, but they rarely touch it during the growing seasons.
