Quote: Well, since I haven't told the breeder yet I don't feel comfortable mentioning it..... I just wanted to know how common it was? Hi Mad Scientist, Once and awhile this will pop up. I guess it comes from the Cochin that was bred into the Orps a long time ago. I have the same here with a...

Quote: You mean full blown feathered stubs between the toes and along the shanks? In older birds or chicks? I believe it is pretty common to see fuzz on the shanks of Bantam Chocolate Orp chicks...but normally that disappears by the time they are feathered out....but I cant say always.

Quote: I hope I dont get anyone upset or yelled at...but if you are someone who enjoys showing you would have to cross them on American Black Orp Bantams...the english bantam orps are huge compared to our bantams I believe their standard say up to 3 lbs....so honestly size would be more of an...

Quote: You are a braver man than me....there are kinds of weird chicken diseases floating around at the chicken swaps, airborne or carried on tires and shoes.

Quote: They will also be alot smaller. Have you weighed yours? SOP bantam Orpington standard weights are 34 for a cockerel and 30 for a pullet. I'm guessing there will be a HUGE difference, more then the fluff. To my understanding UK bantams bigger body size than US bantams?? Would be great...

Renie'sPeeps : Some of you I put in a veggie garden every yr. I have been feeding the broccoli leaves and have since been told that the leaves are toxic to my chickens... IS that so?? Please don't mind my little boy's dirty face.. He just had to be in the picture... Umm my little ham. lol...

Quote: I have taken our 13 yr old to every Harry Potter movie....I guess it is our bonding thing...LOL. Anyway he is looking forward to going to this last one...and I am too. It is sad to see the both the book and the movies come to the end of their run, but it has been a good ride.

Quote: In the laced Wyandottes the slower they feather out, the better the lacing. You should hold on to her and hatch as many babies as you can from her...that slow feathering gene would be very valuable to have in Blues, since it should give you better lacing on them. Jerry

Quote: LOL....your right. I was just shocked to see chocolates directly from Robbie Boyd...I had to look at the auction description twice...but it says they came from Rob.

Quote: Heres a link to the auction. http://bidbirdauctions.com/listings/details/index.cfm?itemnum=990723505 I thought I was on his waiting list but I guess he needed some money to keep raising all the birds he is probably hatching out. I cant wait until he gets his reds. Hi OSUman, Is it...

We are on this and have contacted both the seller and one of the bidders...if we cant get honest answers (and a good explanation) about the use of pictures from other websites, the auctions will be pulled. I do appreciate you looking out for us...thanks Jesse and Jean. Although we were already...

When it come to the big old roosters..well they just need some long warm sunny days and some green grass under their feet...fertility will come along with spring.

I always trim the vents with scissors, if you pluck them the area around the vent can get sore and irratated which causes them to not want to breed. I normally have to trim the vents on our Wyandottes and Seb geese..I use to wait and see how fertility went in the breeding pen, as I have gotten...

I have had the power go out for up to 6 hours before and not effect a hatch...its best to leave them alone....they are more hardy than you think.
