MissPrissy you really do know 99% of people with blue orphs you probably are the person on here with the most diverse flock being created.

That is exactly what I am trying to do, Henry.

I have the pair of blues with the female that could start to lay any day now if she wants to! She is nearing 23 weeks. The females from the eggs I hatched from Jim will go in with him when they grow out.

The females from the eggs I hatched from Bamachicken will go in with the splash I am growing out from the eggs I hatched from Tuffoldhen.

Any of the eggs that hatch out female from the eggs I have now from Korfus Kluckers will be divided between them. I am anticipating the day 7 candling!

I want a nice black cockeral to put in with the pullets I hatched out of TOH's eggs. I was hoping to get that from Gordie's black orps but that entire hatch failed. It may be fall before I try black orps again. (I am limited right now with my bators as I am hatching geese, ducks and turkeys before the egg season is over with them.

From the last hatch of TOH's eggs I am sure I have 2 blue, a splash and a black pullet. Not a bad at all!

I plan to keep 3 small flocks with a Blue, a Black and a Splash roo. I am completely smitten with these orps.

Now I need me some of Cyn's eggs and hopefully she will be sending me all pullets to shake up the gene pool just a bit more. I will be tempted to keep a second Blue Roo if I get a nice cockeral from her eggs.

I really need a true black. That is what keeps the blue color strong!

F2 of these small flocks should be some good strong blood to breed.
