I have been wanting more Cochins, but there were no Cochins where she came from ... do French Marans have feathered feet? She could be that I suppose - which would be great! I got three pullets when I got the Orps.
I just got some black English Orpington chicks and noticed that one of them has something "different". The chick in question looks just like the others, except that it's feet and beak are yellow, whereas the Orp have a greyish leg and darker beak. Do you think this one could be a Wyandotte...
To be honest, this is all so new to me, I'm not sure of proper etiquette! I'd rather not throw names out in a public forum for now... I'd hate to annoy my source, especially since I would like to keep working with them!
I'll try to get a pic of the roo at the farm where I got the chicks when I go back on Saturday. He is massive and beautiful. I want one now, but husband says no Roos right now. I'll need to ask the owners permission to take pics (I'm a professional photographer, so I have to follow the rules)...
Hi all ... I am new here, my name is Katie and I'm from Texas. I want to show off my new babies and I guess this thread is where this all goes, huh? These are English Orps - the Father Roo was on site today at purchase and was SPECTACULAR and one of the largest Roos I have ever seen! Direct...
Hi All - new member here from Texas. Been raising chickens for years now, and decided to join today after getting some new chicks. New arrivals are English Orpingtons, blue and copper Marins, and most exciting are the dozen fertile eggs of Cream Legbars!
Will be posting soon... :)
