NEW What Ya Got Swap! Please see post #1 for rules!

Mine Chocolate of some kind. Yum

Offer

6 Lavender/Black Orpington hatching eggs. + 2 hatching eggs from English Orpington pen of Red Cuckoo rooster over Chocolate, Splash, & Red Orpington hens (You will hatch Chocolate Cuckoo, Blue Cuckoo, & Red Cuckoo)



The Lavender rooster in the picture is with Lavender Orpington hens and Black Orpington hens. You will get Lavender and Black (split to lavender) chicks from this mating. My Orpingtons are a large percentage imported English. As some of you know I have lots of Orpingtons and have been breeding them for over 10 years. I love the English imports, however they have some serious faults such as not great layers, low fertility because of the huge amount of fluffy feathers, and they are not as hearty as our American Orpingtons. This pen represents what I hope is the best of both worlds. Fertility has been great here at home. The black orpington hens in this pen are very large and they are offspring from some of the first Orpingtons imported by Joy Atkins. I have lots of imported birds and those original birds from Joy are the largest of any of the Orpingtons I have. I will start collecting eggs once they are claimed. I prefer to ship now as opposed to shipping later since they are laying great now and fertility is confirmed.

I have not updated my swap page in a long while so until I check it out and update it I will just offer the Orpington eggs.




It's almost like the old days. Glad to see it take off again and so many of our previous swappers.

You guys are driving me nuts! I would be too afraid to get eggs right now with the weather so cold and unpredictable, so tempting though!

I was too but I've now gotten 4 shipments from different breeders and am having a lot better growth then I did in the summer last year. I think it's the cooler weather lol

We have below freezing temps though right now, so I am concerned with freezing eggs

Yuck. I might too then. I'm in FL where we don't have "winters"

Although I am on vacation on SC where it is slightly cooler and just amazingly gorgeous. My 1st vacation in over 10 years. I'm a nervous Nellie leaving all the kids home for 3 days but I'm loving being here. Hope to finally make the move later this year

Does anybody have a heat pack I can buy from you? I need a 72 hour heat pack.

Will the cold packs work as heat packs? In other words, can you heat a cold pack? I'm hoping someone has tried. I'm afraid to try, afraid it would ruin my microwave. LOL

If you heated it in your microwave if it didn't ruin it, it wouldn't stay heated long enough. Heat packs all you do is expose them to air and they automatically warm up and stay warm for as long as they are suppose to. I found a heat pack so I don't need one anymore.
