Hey guys. Its been very busy and so hot here. I wanted to add a few pics and see what u guys think. Here is an update on my LF chocolate project. This guys father was a black split roo who was an 8th bantam and mother was a quarter bantam chocolate. Everyone meet the Count. To make it easy lets...
Thanks. They seem to play those commercials all the time anymore so figured the majority would get it. I read Deeks post and it was windy out so the idea just hit me so I tried to do it in good taste meaning if u were left scratching your head then that may be a good thing.
Aight so today I let some of my young Orps out to free-range today and on my way back to the house I noticed a discrete brown package on the ground beside the mail boxes addressed to the neighbor. Later today I went out to check on my birds and was horrified to see they had shredded and...
Happy Easter everyone. Julie I did look at the mottled looking chicks feet. There is some mottling on one of its upper legs and its just on one side and goes almost half way down. When I hatched the white chick b4 he was solid yellow but feathered in solid white so far. This new yellow chick...
Aight Orp people. Breaking news as I have received a pre Easter miracle. If everyone remembers I am the one that hatched the oddball solid yellow chick outta a pairing of a Blue English roo over a solid black English hen. Well it is def a he now and sorry been lazy but will post new pics soon as...
I have 26 eggs in the bator now from pure imported birds. I only know of 3 people that have these in the US so maybe and am thinking only started pairs will be released to begin with a little later this year. I was just super lucky to get mine thanks to a friend. U may look for American project...
Ok its been confirmed. My biggest typiest English black Orp will b spending the spring/summer with Big Boy(imported lav roo I posted the pic of) and me and my buddy r gonna split the chicks from this breeding which will all b splits to lav but 100% English. Our hope is by next season we will...
Thanks Julie and thank U Rennie'sPeeps but I can in no way take credit for this bird as it is owned by a friend of mine. I just thought I would share him with everyone. I can honestly say I have not been impressed in the least by the imported lavs until I seen Big Boy. On the bright side lavs...
Im willing to bet he will get more red as he ages. Personally I love the look of the dark deep red jubilees versus the blinding orange ones. I would def keep him and see how he turns out. I love his short legs and he skirt is starting to come in. I don't think he is fugly at all and love a round...
Yes he will get a tail. I gotta say I immediately thought mottled. How old is this guy? I had a blue roo last year that never grew a tail til he was 7 months old and it ended up being a perfectly round tail like a cochin.
I just texted a bud of mine and he gave me permission to share his photos and just texted these to me. This is his 100% imported LF Lavender roo. Everyone meet Big Boy. I gotta say I think this guy is awesome and one of the best imported lav roos I have seen in the states for his age. Just to be...
