They do and I’m actually driving thru that area soon. Price is high but the more researching I’m doing on English Orpingtons the price is that high every where

Thoughts from fellow Ontarians Why can’t I seem to find Black Orpingtons? Been looking for months.

I’d say he’s a blue.

Thanks

What does self/* mean? Carries lavender gene?

So Lavenders are really only good as Lavenders? I really do like my Roo he’s like a dog lol. Just so friendly and protective of his girls. Breed black lavender spilts? To try and improve feather quality? Could I show the blacks in the county fair? Not looking to breed for any other reason...

I agree with the head room that was my initial thought. We no longer have these boxes I gave them to a friend who has bantams they work for her just fine.

Picture 3 is a different coop and I’ve never had an issue with these boxes. My husband is now on the hunt for milk crates and wants to see if those will work and put them at ground level.
