Because you chose vomit buff over incredible chocolate cuckoo....Why sad, @KingB?
I had chocolate cuckoo orps for one year. (2015) I thought my sex-linked orps in such a rare color would sell well. My cuckoo orps went through an incredibly long awkward stage from age 6 days to 6 months. Even though I could promise a pullet, customers preferred to buy the adorable straight run lavender chicks. (or offered me an insulting $3-5 per choc cuckoo female .... or asked me to sell them a black cuckoo female which were all males ) I ended up giving many away to friends. The next year I was given an opportunity to obtain some SLOs and switched to breeding them. I still have people calling me asking for "buff orpingtons". I think most people just consider it part of the name and are surprised when they learn orps come in other colors. I've owned a few different colors but never a buff. When I saw the size & shape of @ColtHandorf's new buff orp, I'm impressed.Because you chose vomit buff over incredible chocolate cuckoo....
WHAT! But- wow. And for sexed pullets too?? That's crazy.I had chocolate cuckoo orps for one year. (2015) I thought my sex-linked orps in such a rare color would sell well.

Yes, they do. Just adds to my ever-growing bitterness towards buff orpingtons.I think most people just consider it part of the name and are surprised when they learn orps come in other colors.
I've heard someone semi-recently talking about their "white buff orpingtons."Yes, they do. Just adds to my ever-growing bitterness towards buff orpingtons.
Their Chocolate Cuckoo aren’t laying yet. And I don’t like any of the Cuckoo patterns except in…Lemon. LolBecause you chose vomit buff over incredible chocolate cuckoo....
I also love it. The whole back opens under those windows. All the coops have automatic doors. It was a gorgeous set up. I was very impressed. And the whole set up isn’t really that big. They keep about six hens and a rooster in each of those pens. Extra cockerels are in their own coop. The bigger coops had 8-10 hens and a rooster.Am I the only one drooling over this breeding coop set up? Wow, the idea of having the ability to breed that many orp colors.........
I'm truly maxed out at 2 (lav and silver laced) Maybe throw in an occasional blue & some blacks.

I had three month old sexed birds at the last sale I went to. Almost all of them were pullets. None of them sold. It was very strange.WHAT! But- wow. And for sexed pullets too?? That's crazy.
