Jeremy, Toby is such a cutie!! Love the mud pie pic! And the puppy pics are precious. Almost makes you wish they were puppies forever. Thanks so much for posting the pics. I did get another Corgi after losing my Emmie. We got a little boy this time- Cooper. He's 6 months old now. Got him...
Joy, It's so strange to see that color Orp on this thread. I'm so used to seeing BBS. But, they're so cool-looking. I'll bet it's so weird seeing them at your place, after only raising BBS for so long, huh?
Hey guys. Jeremy, Julie, beautiful pics. Jeremy, that Neville is just gorgeous. Julie, so glad you finally got that bathroom done. I'm sure you are too.
Just wanted to say I've had a great hatch on my Joy Orps. Joy, out of the 12 eggs you sent, I had 8 hatch! Not bad, huh? And, of...
Well, how cool is that?! Have either of y'all candled? I just checked, and it's been 7 days here too.
Oh, and just thought I'd post this pic to show just how big these English girls are. I went to the coop last night, and one of my blue girls had gotten off her nest briefly to get a drink...
Hey Joy. Just checking in to say I candled this morning, and it looks like I've got quite a few little English Orps growing. It's been about a week, I guess. Fingers crossed. We'll see what happens.

Oh I'm already plotting how I can get to Georgia... heh heh...
& I'll stop by VA and scoop up Bluebell on my way home...
Then I won't be the only one with padlocks on my coops I'm sure!
Ok, so why don't you go VA, pick up Bluebell AND the Os, make your way to Ga, then swoop down...

Wow, look at all those little splash babies!! Lucky you're not in CA. You'd have to keep them under lock and key. Jeremy would be stalking you for sure!
But seriously, they're just cute as can be.

Yes, Joy he is. He got out of the chicken yard last week, and wouldn't let my mom off of the patio. I'm about done with him.
Jeremy, I might be mailing you some goose gumbo shortly. Lol.
Joy, I'll bet it's different seeing these gold laced babies. You've raised nothing but BBS for so...

Paula - While you're carrying that stick around and knocking roosters off each other - make sure that somebody has a camera and is taking videos to post here !!!
Haha, sure, will do Joy. While I'm at it, I'll get one of my fighting off my Sebbie gander. Flippin goose is fixin to be...
Joy and Julie, y'all are so right. There's just something about seeing these Orps strutting around the yard. They're a sight, that's for sure. The size of the English Orps is just crazy. They demand attention. lol I've still got 5 "extra" boys, and they're just so pretty walking around the...

Thanks Paula -
Dwain is over the moon with these little guys. I'm really hoping to get some more blacks the next few hatches.
Congrats on your babies !! Where are the pictures???
I knew you were going to ask that question. I'm so bad about taking pics. I was in such a hurry to...
Woohoo Joy, congrats on the GL Orps!! I know Dwain must be thrilled! And those 2 blacks are too cute. I pulled a few out of the hatcher myself today-3 or 4 blues, a couple of blacks, and a splash.
Julie, good luck with the hatch. Good idea using the mesh bags, I'll have to remember that.
Joy, anything more this morning on the two stragglers? Remember when we talked a couple days ago, I was talking about trimming butts. Well, in this hatch, I had 5 out of 6 babies hatch. The one...
Wondering the same thing Katy-about offspring being considered 3/4 English. I got my first baby yesterday from my Joy Orps! It's either a Splash or a light blue. I'll take a couple of pics when I pull him out of the hatcher later today. This was from my very first 3 eggs from my girls...

Joy, that's awesome!! Can you believe you'll soon have all these little English babies running around? I can remember when you were waiting on eggs from Clem and Winston. I'm absolutely thrilled for you! I've still only got my blue girl laying, but noticed this morning that one of...
