ATT. Speckledhen (Suede)

[annrich]

Hi I keep seeing his picture everywere. I have to tell you he is sooooo beautiful. I want a blue orp so bad now. I have to wait til spring, but I had to tell you he rocks!!

Pssst!! He might need to run on a treadmill.

Oh are you shipping fertile eggs in the spring time?

 

[speckledhen]

LOL, he isn't fat, he's very fluffy. Seriously! Orps are so heavily feathered they do look fat, dont they? He is not much of an eater, I can tell you. Someone asked if the Blue Orps ate me out of house and home and I can honestly say they do not hold a candle to my little piggie Speckled Sussex, Nelda. That is a big eater! They don't eat more than my other smaller breeds. I do sell fertile eggs right now, but only one of my Blue Orp pullets is laying at the moment. Hopefully, by April, I'll have a couple more to help with the egg production.
Here's another pic where he isn't hunched up looking like a Thanksgiving Turkey, LOL

Fluffy, ummmmmmmm, yeah that's it.

Just kidding Cyn, Suede is a beautiful bird. I have to have one of those......add it to my list for spring.

He's very pretty.... yeah and I might be a little fluffy myself!

 

[Lunachick]

Yes - handsome fella, does he have any idea how popular he is?

 

[speckledhen]

Trying to keep that on the down-low so he doesn't get a swelled head and an attitude to match, LOL. Shhhhh...

Do you sell hatching eggs out of your Ameraucanas?

 

[speckledhen]

I do, although I have only two pullets at the moment. They're both excellent layers so far, and I've had great fertility as well with them, but I am not going to give them extra light over the winter and am not sure how well they will lay through the cold season. I have booked orders through the middle of November for their eggs. After that, I may collect eggs and if I have enough, offer them for sale on a first-come-first-served basis on the weekend.
