Yay! I lived there as a child! Have lots of family there. Welcome!

OrpieLover!! First of all, Your pictures and you Chickens are soooooo gorgeous!! OMG!! I have to admit - I'm coveting. Second..... I am sorry, but I laughed out loud at forgetting to put the card in the camera. I went out a few years ago while I was dreaming constantly of owning my own farm...

I hope not!! I haven't got my lav orps yet. I hope it's still here when I do!!

Thanks for that info. I have been looking for a hatchery closer to NB and hadn't yet found this one!! I just perused their entire website and will be ordering from them. Thank you!!!

Welcome!! And I was going to suggest kijiji.ca and look for some in your area. They are updated in real time so you may find some good ads if you check every day. I will be getting some of the breeds you are looking for, but not until the summer months -and I suspect that will be later than you...

Dylan is a big chicken - lol!! Good forum to talk about him!!

So sorry your grandmas' died that way. It always sucks when they go but if they are sick it is more painful for those left behind.:(

Thanks, and ya, they are cute. The floppy ear'd one is Ella, and she is very good friends with the little girl next door. She has known Ella since she was 3 and Ella would let her pry open her mouth and count her teeth. Ella would walk beside her up and down stairs, I can only think it was...

This one is a cross between a blue and a buff - and he is gorgeous!! Photo courtesy of Ingleside Farm (it is her rooster)

I have a friend in Virginia who has Lavender Orpingtons as beautiful as yours - but that is the one other place i have seen them so lovely. The most striking rooster, you have!! HolySmokes!! Love 'em!!

Wow! Orpielover!! That lavender/laced orpington is beautiful!!! Don't know that I would have the patience for such a project, but very glad that others do!! K

Thank you for this! I have found conflicting information in so many areas. One source suggested I breed a lavender Ameraucana with a Black Astraulorp to get the F-1's and go from there the way you suggested. I've heard that the Astraulorp is a combination of the Australian something or other and...

I have a question about lavender orpingtons....... well, a few actually. What is the genetics behind the lavender colour? I live in Canada and have been unsuccessful finding a source for lavender orpingtons, and was wondering if anyone knew of hatching eggs for sale in Canada? Also, Black...

I'm on the alberta chickens etc. site and love it, too! All kinds of connections for heritage breeds all over Canada

I have never heard of them..... shaking.... but they can wobble around hatching time. Is that what you mean?

ahhhh but you can build a wrap around porch!!!! how cool is that? I love the old farmhouses. Wish I had one!! You must be soooo excited!
