Hola, everyone! I'm liquidating for now, and anyone with interest in the Isabel (Lavender-diluted Buff Partridge) Orps may be interested: My job has whipped me up and down the block for the last year or so, and that's in addition to having relatives here, being a caregiver, and...

Go look at HeirloomOrpingtons.com to see Marc's stock. Even if you don't want the English Orp look, putting one in your flock will bring you bigger size and longer skirts, big fluff and lovely little heads with small combs. And huggable...don't forget how huggable English stock are...pardon me...

I generally feel that it doesn't matter how far a buyer and breeder live apart so much as it depends on how far each is from an airport. I find that eggs that spend the least amount of time on a truck do the best, and have had my eggs produce 100% hatches in Alaska, despite my location in...

Quote: Crikey, Steve! Is that from one of my eggs!?!? If it is, I have the answer, and I suspect you'll hate it as much as I do... O.k. Renee, you can't say something like that and not share, what is he!! Well, I'm not even sure it happened, because I certainly never saw evidence of...

I have had some Lav Mottled feather in like that and when the juvie feathers molt out the white wing feathers are back to normal Lav with a white tip. This is also common on Mottled Cochins. Quote: The three chicks that looked mottled appear to be feathering in white- what does everyone...

Quote: I have had some like that- naked for the longest time!! They have always ended up to be cockerels. I'm wondering how many of you working on improving the Lavs have run into VERY melanistic Lavs? Some of the blacks I've added lately appear to have given me gypsy-faced, black-legged...

Quote: Wooooooohooooo!!!!

A long time back Guitartists made some Punnett squares... That may help!

Quote: I'd love to see a pic of the chick fuzz from these- how does it look?

Quote: The Lavenders are still a project bird and have qualities that need to be improved upon. The tail is part of the improvement process.

Quote: Thanks both she and oprah are 8 mths and still very little pale combs. Is this typical I figured since I derailed the thread I 'd better get in here and answer you, Patient Lady!! I have had the girls stay very immature and pale in the comb until about 2 weeks prior to laying...

Quote: I have wondered the same thing and I`m very curious what the answer might be. Why can`t a Blue or Splash Orp breed with a Lav? Just jumping in here. Yes they could breed with Blues and Splashs, the resulting lavs. would not be as good, i am going to call it not as "crisp". It may...

I've posted this identical question on the Lav Silkie thread, but want to ask the other Lav specialists: CRA-AAAAACK!!!! That's the sound of me opening a big can of worms.... If one ought to only breed Lavenders to Black to improve, and there is a very testy feeling (in...

If you can, send them off if you lose any more. Any that have died can bear some explanation if they are refrigerated, not frozen, soo after death, for up to a 5 day period, I think. It's not worth the perpetual question of whether there's an underlying pathogenic cause here, and you'll know...

Quote: He might be of use if you wanted to work on Isabel Orps- the Yellow leakage would be desirable, but you'll want more. If he's super typey, you could find some gorgeous Buffs, like Jody & Charlie's, and go to town!

I've hatched quite a few with white feathertips on the breast and wings that disappear with the adult plumage coming in, around 13 or 14 weeks. I've marked these, in hopes I'll be able to come back to them and find out for sure if I have any that are split for mottling by putting them together...

Quote: So far two lavenders out, anxiously waiting on the last three!! Let's go, babies!

Quote: What a ball of fluff she seems! The chicks will dwarf her in no time.
