The lavender color(s) are beautiful...being a lover of blues, it is almost impossible not to like the lavender too. I understand they are still are a work in progress to obtain a perfection standard. However there are so many that just do not have the orp body style yet and some are...
wilds of pa that is cool...they are big girls and boys now huh? I wish all lavender orps were chunky monkeys but I have seen some scrawny ones hatch lately. I will stick with my Blue Orps I think, I like that guarantee of fat butterball chicklets.
Tomhusker she is beautiful....a real cutie...
Sarah they are cute! You have 2 blacks here at my place to add to those. I am toying with the idea of firing up the bator again but this humidity and the poor duckie hatch I had are causing me to stew on it a bit more. grrrrrrr
ChooksChick I am so sorry...that is a real bummer indeed.

Tractor supply, Southern States, etc etc.
They are live traps and not hard to set at all...you should not hear it snap unless you are outside in the middle of the night. You can bait them with cat food, tuna, marshmellows, meat etc etc. Then in the morning the critter is in the trap...
If they are like mine Germaine...they just stopped laying recently. They are seasonal for sure but they lay like crazy when they do. My (5 girls laid between 300 - 322 each) eggs their first laying year.
Germaine I am so sorry...I hope you kill that fox...shoot him twice! Once for the kill and once for your birds.
I have 3 broody ducks right now sitting on 16 eggs I believe...they will be pure Ancona, pure Golden Welsh Harlequins and maybe some crosses of the two. Wish I could get some to...
