Thanks Walt, that is what I was afraid of.

Hey all - I need your help. I just started getting into the Orpington breed about a year ago. I started off with chocolate and quickly became an Orpington fanatic. Now I am getting into different colorings, etc within the breed. When I first purchased my Chocolates, I was told they were hand...

I will have some in about a month.

Thank you! I just sent him a Facebook message.

I'm looking for a Silver Laced Orpington Rooster and/or hatching eggs. Does anyone know where I can purchase? Preferably someone you have dealt with personally, as I've had some bad luck. Thanks!!

Thank you!

Help!!! Just hatched this little one (literally seconds ago) and this is my first time. Is the placenta that is still attached to her normal??

Thanks for the advice! I think she has been getting up and moving around because her food is going down and there are fresh droppings. She is in her own isolated coop so I am positive it is her.

Thank you!! That is the conclusion I had been arriving at but then I see people getting very upset saying that they need it at night.

I have read numerous posts on this and I am trying to determine a true consensus. Do the chickens need their food and water in the coop with them at night? I don't put them in until dusk and I let them out as soon as the sun comes up. My coop is on the smaller side and until we build a bigger...

That's excellent to hear! Thank you!

Oh very nice. I hadn't thought of that. I know they are too young yet, but are there any signs to look for if one is a rooster?

Help! -- I bought 6 pullets from Tractor Supply in early April and I am trying to identify the breed. I am thinking they are a New Hampshire Red because they don't seem dark enough for a Rhode Island. What do you guys think?

We actually have 2 different types of mulberries in our yard and my chickens love them. Haven't had any issues with them eating them.
