The Imported English Jubilee Orpington Thread

[TNBEARCHICK]

Out of 6 hens we get 4-5 eggs a day. So around 200-250 per year for ours.

I would agree, mine lay like crazy when they lay. When we bought part of our flock and moved them an they quit. Moved them again to a new coop and they quit again. So now we leave them alone. Well for a while.

Thank you so much for the info. It is my understanding (what I have read online ) that so many of the english orpingtons have been breed for show not egg laying.

I just set my first Jubilee eggs! Hopefully, in three weeks I will have some pics of chicks!

Also some of our hens:





And when they were pullets:



And one of our roosters:

I have my first jubilee chicks set to hatch this week. So far they are developing on schedule. I hope they all hatch!

I've got a week left and am trying to count my chicks before they hatch. Lol. When I candled them at 10 days, I think only a couple were viable. I am crossing my fingers those two make it. I'm not the greatest candler, so I left the others in and will look again at lockdown. I'm not sure I'd buy hatching eggs through the mail again even though two chicks out of six would be worth it on this hatch.
