    Orpingtons! Do they did up your garden?

    Orpingtons! Do they did up your garden?

    Well thats it then, my garden seems doomed! I will be only having 2 or 3 Orpingtons and surely this should eliminate too much damage! should'nt it?

    Ah so they still may be Buffs then? Do they loose all the markings later on when they grow up!

    Orpingtons! Do they did up your garden?

    I do have another question if that is ok? will they climb a ramp to get in their coop of a night time? Just with them being the larger figured ladies?

    Orpingtons! Do they did up your garden?

    This sounds as if it is going to be fun! Is there any plants that they don't like the taste of and will not touch?

    Orpingtons! Do they did up your garden?

    Really...... that was not the answer I was hoping for. My vegtables are in large oak barrels so should be pretty mucH out of the way of harm, but my boarders are vunerable! Do they dig all your flowers up? and what do they do to your lawn?
