Is anyone breeding Reds anymore? 

Here are some bad phone pics of the reds

I am wondering about the intelligence of my Red cuckoos. I just finished them a nice new coop with an 8ft run and they stand in the run in the freezing rain.

My Jubilees took almost 4 weeks to find the roosting area whereas the 2 Barnevelders living with them discovered it the 2nd day. Meanwhile they kept sleeping on the coop/run floor. So I would say they do have some intelligence issues. Maybe they are English vs Dutch. Isn't it supposed to be other way around? Sorry just a joke, hopefully not offending anyone!

Interesting. Mine were roosting in the brooder by 3 weeks. I sure hope they continue to do so when I move them out to the coop!

Hiya peeps, here are my Partridge Orps:

I'm not sure what to do about the smutty color in the tails of some of my upcoming pullets. Will this molt out? Or am I removing them from breeding?

Here's the clearer lacing on one of my hens, but I don't remember her ever having the smuttiness....it doesn't mean it wasn't there, could have been and I didn't notice.

sorry just lurking at present - have 3 Red English and 3 Partridge English Orpingtons and just want to learn about them. They are 7 weeks old - I can't find anyone on Vancouver Island who seems to have them and would love to know if anyone on this thread does.
Thanks!

We raise Partridge and Reds both.

One of my 5 week old blues checking out the world outside the brooder. I just adore these little critters.
