Anyone have the Gold Laced Orps imported by Greenfire? I confess - I've been drooling over them. Trying to decide if I should get them or not. I'm concerned with all the fluff, fertility might be an issue for breeding?

Yes, she is most definitely a swan now. I don't breed the Orps, I just have 2 girls for my own eye candy.

Thanks, she sure is eye candy around here. I can't take credit for her looks, I just raised her.

Yup, that's the Ostrich! She decided to prove you all wrong when you called her ugly. Yes, this is 1 of the girls I got from you - the other one is molting right now, so I did not get pictures of her.

The other one is thinner than normal, but nowhere near what my "ostrich" girl was. (they are nicknamed from my son - he calls them the Fat Girls) Her keel bone was prominent and she had very little meat on either side of it. Her comb is getting red again so I expect she will start laying again...

Tuffoldhen asked me to post pictures on my slow feathering girl. Cheryl hatched some from Tuffoldhen's flock, and I was gifted 2 50% English Orps from her. At the time, the ugly ostrich was thought to be a boy - but it ended up she was just a really slow feathering girl. This first picture...
