Hi All

I have a few Orpington eggs that hatched for my Father today! These eggs are from my Father's flock of Buff Orpintons, White Orpintons & Black Australorps.
( 1 Buff Orpinton male with 5 Buff Orpinton females, 5 White Orpinton females & 5 Black Australorp females ).


As of tonight it looks like I have - 8 Buff Orpinton chicks / 3 Buff Orpinton x White Orpintons chicks / 4 Buff Orpintons x Black Australorp chicks.


I think a few more will hatch tomorrow. I will get a few pictures of them tomorrow and post them.

They are adorable!

Your father must be so happy! Do you get to keep any of them?

Hi goldnchocolate

I just hatched these chicks for my father. The only breed I have is the Black La Fleche and as soon as they start laying I plan to hatch as many of them as I can.
