    Blue Orpington

    The best way to make sure you get blue is to see if you can find someone with a black over splash or vice versa. Black and splash give you 100% blue. That's if you truly want just blue. I am hoping to get my breeding pen lined up when my black starts laying too. I don't know how far away you...

    Blue Orpington

    . I would not breed him. That brown will pass onto the chicks. You don't want that. I'm not sure how easy it is to breed out. Your talking about many generations of breeding and it may show up in a later generation. Also any blues you get may have a brown tint lacing instead of the pretty dark...

    Blue Orpington

    I hatched 10 out of 12 eggs for my BBS orpingtons and I ended up with 1 blue and 8 black. One of the chicks was a different breed (sent for fun). I had to get rid of the blue because her lacing wasn't good and her comb was black, not red. She barely had any wattles, that were a gray color. I...

    I have checked its legs. They are straight. It only does it when we approach the brooder. Almost like its nervous. It is very bizarre. The other 3 don't do it. It's very interesting to see them. They are very silly. We recently got an orphaned call duck and one of the javas has decided that it...

    Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

    I just got my first call duck as an orphan and instantly fell in love. My girls show in 4H and APA shows in the jr. division and I am starting to show chickens in the older division. My husband decided that our new little guy/girl needs some friends. He figured if we are going to get some we...

    Well, I went through the last of the mottled java eggs that were in my incubator. 8 underdeveloped chicks, all dead in the shell. Had 6 hatch out of 23 and had to cull 2 due to defects. My daughter was a little disappointed. I have since found out that the hatching eggs are from a few hens...

    Here is a pic of the 4 healthy chicks. I hope more hatch. Still waiting on 8 more. I'm going to give them a few more days. Sometimes you have late bloomers.
