We just finished hatching 18 Orpington chicks. We had 16 pullet eggs and 2 hen eggs that hatched out of 20 eggs in incubator. We have a Splash rooster and 3 Splash hens and 1 black hen. The pullets are black. So out of the pullets eggs we should get Blue. One of the eggs
that hatched was...
We will be putting eggs in the incubator on Feb 21st to hatch on March 13Th. The eggs are from our chickens. We are hoping to hatch out some blue Orpingtons. Lets encourage and help each other out.

Does anyone have a phone number or email address for Papa's Poultry? The contact on the web page doesn't work. No I don't have face book account and never will.
Thank you, Kevin
My son is looking for 2 or 3 Black Orpington hens to breed with his splash rooster. Would like hens from breeders not hatchery birds. Located in northern IL. Thanks, Kevin
We need some advice on putting Colunbian Rock Bamtams with Large Breed chicks. Bantams are 2 weeks old. The Large breeds are 9 Orps, 10 EE, 7 Sexlinks are 2 weeks old and 5 RIR are 3 weeks old. Just got the Bantams today. Would they be ok if we put them with the others? Thanks on any info.
We have a BLRW rooster with a bad leg. It has been getting worse every day. I am thinking his thigh is out of joint? He probably weighs about 8-9 pounds. Should we put him down or any remedy's out there?
Thanks, Kevin
Our chickens have been laying a soft shelled egg about every day. We have 15 hens. They are fed Whole flock feed and have oyster shell and grit. Any ideas why they are doing this?
Thanks, Kevin
