Are we still trading for starts and treats?

Yup! I thought we were starting summer treats in June. Do you want to start in May? I will get the starts out as soon as The ICE AGE has passed....

Turkey Lover, they take at least 28 days. Soon now!

Okay, I've got clarification:

Assorted Marans



Favorelles



Basques, Coro Sussex or LC Orps



Orlaffs

Ohh... that may be my Coronation. It is about the right time frame for them to have hatched.

I am getting a friend of mine into chickens. I showed her the different breeds online and she met mine. She went all excited about orps. I would love to have some orps but have never had any myself. Would y'all recommend them for being friendly? I have heard that they don't lay as well as some other breeds...fact or fiction?


she is an empty nester and is looking for a new challenge and her husband already built her a big coop for mother's day..

Well darn it, I was hoping for chicks from CPL this week, too, but didn't get a tracking number, so I guess that means next hatch...

Yay for all of you that got your chicks safe and sound, tho!!!

My orps - we have lavender, buff, and lemon cuckoo - lay daily like my other good layers. They are also some of the friendliest birds we have.

I'm not sure one's going to make it. It's spending a lot of time sleeping. I've made sure that it's drinking, but it's not doing much else.

My lavender Orpington, Persephone, was very inquisitive and friendly. She was one of my favorites.
