What color of Orpingtons do you have? I have Blue, Black, Black Lavender Split, Lavender, Blue Lavender Splits, and Splash. I love my orpingtons, they are so beautiful! Wonderful birds to have around.
These are Blue and Black. I love them!

Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain :
The white crested black polish is a girl, the red is a boy, darn tootin'.
WW, I would give Quartz some plain organic yogurt, with a little oatbran or ground old-fashioned oatmeal stirred into it. If she's puking up whole corn, she's definitely blocked up. The yogurt, oats and maybe a little cod liver oil to make it into a loose slurry and let her eat that. It should lube, add some good bugs, and nourish all in one.
But not a lot... just a couple of tablespoons at a time, and mix it fresh. Trust me... you do NOT want to open up her crop if you don't have to.
That means my polish is probably a girl...I hope,,, I'll take pictures. I am presently almost out of avian I was going to reorder, but after hearing WWs problems I probably won't have much luck!
My Orphingtons a Tori's splashes, and they are getting big.

I figured that about the Polish ... oh well, hopefully he behaves himself!
I don't think we have any yogurt on hand... that's why I was using the bread and oil... we'll see how it goes tomorrow, we weren't planning a trip to town til Friday.

This thread is useless without cute pictures.

More yuk outta Quartz today, but not she doesn't WANT to eat... is pretty weak
Not sure if she's gonna make it....
Is she still pooping? Drinking?
Sorry to hear Quartz isn't doing well, WW.
I moved 3 (shipped) Barred Rock eggs to lockdown last night as I may have to run away for a bit today and didn't want to have to move them late.....since today is actually day 18...should hatch Saturday if they are doing ok, I couldn't see any movement but there was a definite dark area in them.
Candling light was dimming so I guess I need a new bulb or something.
anyone have one of these? http://www.brinsea.com/prod-OvaScope_egg_scope-236.aspx I am thinking of ordering one, to make my candling simpler.....
says you can even fit a webcam to it...that would be neat.
I am looking into a new incubator and auto turner also.... I think I need another one. I have 25 eggs awaiting the incubator.....maybe it is time to fire up the old 100 egg Brower? lol
