I would say Extra Extra Large:O Seriously though, my standard boxes are 12x18. You could try 18x18? Height? I'm not sure...

I was wondering the same thing!

I wish I could order eggs or chicks from you, but unfortunately I am under the USPS embargo for zip codes... (044...). Makes me upset...

Sorry, mine are actually Lavender Ameraucana not Orps! :-) Doesn't matter though.. Lav. Orps would still be the same color...lol.

One of my "boys" this past summer.

Those don't look lavender to me... Mine were MUCH lighter pastel fluff with dark beaks and legs. I'll try to find a picture...

Please post pictures after they hatch! :-)

I have been lookimg at your pullet, and you mentioned that you couldn't figure what could be deficient with her... First let me say... I think she is gorgeous! :-) But I wonder if he might be aiming for a darker hackle...Or... Maybe he wasn't crazy about her temperament??? I'm grasping at...

This is my first year with BBS Orps, and I have to say, their good temperament blows me away. My cockerel is so mild mannered and takes such good care of his girls. Do all of you find them to be the same, or did I just luck out? :-)

Better pic of my cockerel. :-)

...and my blue pullet...

Ok, here's my cockerel, pictured at 20 weeks.

A few pics of my cockerel and pullets.[/IMG][/IMG]

At this stage in the game, it would be much easier to buy BLRW from a reputable breeder that already has the correct color and type. Check out Foley's Waterfowl online. That will give you info on the history of the BLRW as well as show you pictures of what BLR should look like today.

Did Jerry by any chance mention to you how the shows are going this year? (as far as getting the BLRW accepted by the APA).
