Are Hill Top Farm's Farm's English Orpingtons good quality? Or any quality English Orpington breeders who ship eggs or chicks?

@ColtHandorf , when does your fall start, feels like fall starting?

Oh dear, no.

We're there. It's 102 currently.

Good grief.

Good grief.

I still don't know why my ancestors chose to settle somewhere the very air hates them.

It probably wasn't like that back then.

I'm surprised your EO's are hanging in there with the awful heat. That says a lot about the breed.

I have never heard of them.

Posting the link so everyone doesn't have to Google...

Hilltop Farms English Orpingtons

Going of the single pic they provide on their website the Mottled and Silver-laced birds are the best looking. The Lavenders don't look English. The Chocolate might be alright, but the pictures isn't very good. And the Jubilee don't look right to me.

Carolina Rare Chicks, Papa's Poultry, and Cackle Hatchery have nice birds. Anita Heatherly has beautiful birds but doesn't ship.

I breed several varieties and have limited availability. With the current heat in Texas, shipping is out of the question.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Colt, when the weather is right, do you ship sexed chicks? TIA

I am unable to sex day-old chicks. I could ship started birds, but that is, of course, more expensive. It's been ages since I've done it.

Just in time for a polar vortex and another snow storm.

I don't think he does sexlinks or auto sexing breeds

I did lose my Red male this week and a blue hen last week. But those are the first adult Orpingtons to succumb to the extreme temps.
