Two 2.5 year old English Orpington roosters for sale. Will sell together or separately. They get along great and are completely people safe. They have been exposed to strangers and are very good with all humans.
They are both black cuckoo carrying chocolate, and are brothers. Sire was black...
Please be aware this drug is NOT APPROVED for chickens in the US. There are no reported withdrawal times. Therefore you cannot sell eggs or meat to anyone. Ever. You can consume the eggs in your own household only. Same with meat.
Btw I hate how few drugs have withdrawal info available. But...
Hi @wheezy50. Sorry for the delay in getting back with you. I will have chocolate and chocolate cuckoo English Orps this year if they ever start feeling like breeding. I know what you mean by some having incorrect body type. My current roo is a happy and handsome single barred guy who is from...
People need to be educated that Salmonella is real, potentially deadly, and avoidable. All of us have a duty to make sure our friends and customers are given the information they need. I believe the Indiana State Poultry Association on the Purdue campus has brochures available, or you can print...
Approximately 3-month-old solid chocolate and chocolate cuckoo English Orpington pullets available for sale. $20 each for the chocolates, $25 each for the cuckoos. Below are photos of last year's girls owned by a friend of mine. They are vaccinated against Marek's disease. The sire is from...
Does anyone know if LF Cochins are dominant white or recessive white? I got a Partridge cockerel and a white pullet in an assorted Cochin order. If all I'm going to get are whites (dominant white), then I'll sell them. I was supposed to get two pullets and the refund for my cockerel is coming...
It looks like a lavender Orpington. (a) They have fragile feathers to begin with. Trust me on this. (b) There is a recessive gene on the same chromosome as the lavender gene which causes REALLY REALLY severe feather loss in the tail. If you Google it, you can find old B/W images of it...
We lost our blue English Orp roo Junior recently. He was Cogburn's son and a wonderful boy, not quite as big as Cog but with a better comb. With all the rain, I had been avoiding the chicken yard and he was so fluffy Jay didn't notice until he was seriously ill. Crop impaction AND sour crop...
DH and I did coiffures on everyone's derrieres over the weekend to increase fertility rates. English Orps are so fluffy everywhere, including back there! We're getting good numbers of eggs now so it was definitely time. Cogburn was so concerned about what we were doing. He watched us like a...
A weasel took one of our chickens a few years ago. We could tell by the "manner of death" using one of the many charts online. Our coop isn't far from both woods and a creek. I have never personally seen one of the varmints in my life, and hope I never do. What they do to poultry (mostly...
@flyladyrocks Your tendon observation is interesting. Different. May need an entirely different approach but I may well not have what's necessary. Keep them fed but this does not sound promising or like "regular" crossbeak, so it could have an unhappy end. PM me, though! Send photos from...
Last post today. I'm having a fairly big deal medical test/procedure tomorrow morning, and will happily accept all well wishes from friends and friends to be. It has been a wicked 2 weeks leading up to it. I'm on almost no pain meds, for the test, and it has been brutal. Hit my max pain...
Btw I am keeping a splash pullet and a black cuckoo split to chocolate cockerel for myself. It's my first splash girl! I'm also hanging onto a very sweet lav pullet but might be talked into selling her, but not alone. She mothered my little group of 3 and I was impressed with how henlike she was.
Still looking for homes for my older Orp chicks!
All English. All NPIP. All vaccinated against Mareks.
1 black cockerel, gonna be huge, and Cogburn's grandson

PM me if interested. Will work with...
@flyladyrocks and @Leahs Mom, I have fed medicated feed to all my chicks for 5 years until they go outside or are sold, and I have never, ever seen any neurological problems in any older chicks as mentioned in the Merck Manual. Just FYI and I always recommend it. It's very safe and I have...
Has anyone had an SGD hen without salmon breast feathers? She is from Sand Hill. Gray back markings are typical for SGD. We love our four girls but need a roo. I had to order chicks from Murray McMurray to get boys, so no chicks til next year.
