    The Imported English Jubilee Orpington Thread

    The same close friend that gave us a trio of chocolate orpingtons just gave us a young trio of jubilee orpingtons. The girls are very docile. You can just walk up and pick them up. They'll talk to you. On the other hand, the rooster is a jerk.

    Batman vs Superman

    Had to be the most awesome super hero movie I've ever seen, and I've seen most all of them. Watched in XD 3D. DC Comics really outdid themselves with this one. A must see for the super hero movie fan, and anyone else that just loves a night at the theatre.. Fabulous!

    Little Giant Incubator Tricks

    It seems it would stand to reason, that if animal embryos can can be frozen prior to implant, that a chicken egg could be refrigerated prior to incubation. I'm no rocket scientist though.

    Chocolate Orpington eggs?

    We went to our county fair a couple of weeks ago. There was probably 600-700 chickens being shown. We looked at all of them, and there was not a single choclate orpington in the bunch. With his literal natural beauty, our roo,The Duke of Fudge, would have been one of the top guys in the show...

    Hatching Question

    It is a normal bantam sized. It is my understanding the chocolate orpington eggs are supposed to be just that size. Correct?? They are a very light tan color.

    Coop power source

    I feel you. Notice the swing light on the top left corner?...(see avatar). It is made out of pure bonafide metal. Got it at a yard sale for .50 cents. I painted it off white with a can of spray paint that I also got at a yard sale for .25 cents. I only used about .01 cent worth of the...
