    The Middle Tennessee Thread

    Hopefully by mid May. Mine haven't started laying yet, they're breeding though. So I expect them to start laying any day now.

    Help me choose PLEASE

    . Don't know what you decided to get but... I have both breeds. Both are pretty but they're complete opposites of each other in personality. BR's are very active,alert,and instinctive. The LCO's tend to bigger birds. They are very docile, sweet, and easily handled. I personally like both but...

    I don't know about the feed your looking for but we just moved from Florida to Tennessee this summer. I found a local feed store that carries Tucker feeds. You might try them , so far I've been really happy with them.

    I have a couple friends that are certified. They've told me it's not a big deal. All they do is come and take samples from your birds and leave. Then later on they let you know the results.

    The Imported English Jubilee Orpington Thread

    Hello all! I have a couple questions. First I recently purchased a group of 13 Orpingtons aged 3 and 4 months old, from a local breeder who breeds BBS and Jubilees. The breeder was up front and said some maybe show, some pet, and some breeder quality. They were grow outs she decided not to use...

    As far as I know in Tennessee certification is only required for shipping live birds or chicks across state lines. I think if your shipping eggs you don't have to be certified. I know you don't if your selling live birds in state.

    Blue Orpington

    Blues are a dilution of black. When breeding them you will get some blacks and splashes. So you might have one of each. And yes you can get blue from breeding them.

    Blue Orpington

    I don't know if anyone ever answered you but... blue crossed on chocolate produces mauve. I'm not sure about lavender on blu though. Blue and lavender are 2 different dilution genes and I'm not sure how they would interact together. I would think you would get 50% blue 50% lavender. Or maybe...
