I am very interested in adding some lavender orps to my flock or mostly buff's. Does anyone sell hatching eggs or can recommend a reputable breeder who does? Thanks
After seeing all these beautiful birds makes me want to fire up the incubator and hatch me some chicks. Anyone sell hatching eggs or recommend the best place to get eggs?
Thanks

We had a hen go broody and decided to put a dozen eggs under her. We are one week away from a hopefully successful hatch! Its getting really cold out though and thinking that we should bring her and her eggs into a more temperature controlled environment. If we do get chicks in the next week...
She is in my basement at the moment. Was a little worried about leaving her with the other girls as she has so much dried blood on and around her eye while I was at work. Everything I have read and been told is that the other hens will be attracted to the blood and pick at her. Is this only...
My hen's wattle is ripped, I am assuming from a hen squabble but am really unsure. By the look of her is it happened a while before I found her. We stopped the bleeding but she has dried blood all over her face, including around her eye. I cleaned up as much as I could from her neck, a little...
