    My red orpinton girls are looking like they arent orps at all! help!

    Thanks all for your help, I will keep you updated on what happens next but i think they will be going to a new home on a farm nearby. the farm might not take them if they arent pure breeds though so could be problematic....................oh dear!

    Yeah im seeing what you mean, fortunately if the last one is a roo i have a farm that will take him as i cant have roo's thanks to noise ordinance regulations in our village. Unfortunately he is named after my best friend angela who wont be best pleased hahahaha! Ive got some RIR hybrids and two...

    Im not doubting your expertise, im relatively new to chicken keeping and still not 100% sure of myself with them. (expertise wise) ive taken a good look at the one you said (angel) and she does indeed have those saddle feathers..............i think i may be going back to the breeder about...

    ~I looked up saddle feathers so i know what you mean now, i have no idea what to do with them now. none of them are crowing (they should be by now i assume if they are male)

    yes i have other hens but they are too young to lay yet, im fairly convinced they are hens but they seem to just be a total anomaly. i dont know what you mean by saddle feathers and none of them crow.......................so confusing!

    New chicks! (pic heavy)

    Ive certainly had trouble finding them here, its a shame because they appear to be a very good breed. I know Araucanas are similar and they are also on my shopping list (dont tell hubby!) I will carry on the search!

    Pregnant and not wanting to stop eating my fresh eggs! Advice please!!!!!

    I think its wise to be careful but also with the amount of things us brits are told not to eat during pregnancy is ridiculous! half of the things are consumed before we discover we are pregnant anyway!
