Hi guys! Didn't realize there was a Nor cal thread. Wasn't able to make it to the Stockton show this year because my goats were having kids. Hopefully next year, and so I can bring a few birds. Oh, and do any of you know if they allow Sizzles?

i know nothing about shows or showing...I just know what I think is pretty

Welcome to the thread

This was mostly just a test to see if they fixed the problem of posting photos with IE. It is still a little fussy, I had to hit preview each time to add another photo. Anyway, these are my new LF chocolate orpingtons

I'm really hoping for a pair, since I only hatched two.

These are my new crele orpingtons

And this is one of my new lavender orpingtons

I also hatched a bunch of bantam black & chocolate orpingtons, but I didn't do a photo shoot with them.

Okay, enough messing around and back to chores.

Hope you get your pair and VVVVV what chiquita said

I've been lusting after those creles. Im waiting for fall for eggs now since its so stinking hot where they are shipping from.

Your pic doesn't help.

I think Della may be an internal layer and I am pretty sure she has sour crop. It's been a bad day for her. She has always had egg issues weak, shells, no shells, weird membraney embryo shaped things with albumen only the last couple of days she has sat and sat and sat and produced nothing....none of that is totally odd for her but I didn't know enough to think anything of it. Then she was just standing in the run didn't make for the gate when I let everyone out to range and when I picked her up he fanny was damp with clear ick and she drooled on my arm. I didn't even know chickens COULD drool. So I isolated her and googled her symptoms and BOTH conditions seem to fit...sigh. I gave her ACV and water with a syringe massaged her crop and she threw up. Massaged her again a couple of hours later and the same thing happened. I was going to give her yogurt in a bit. Any thoughts on either?

Hi and welcome to the thread!

And look at a red crele orp.

Your babies are all adorable. I was sold on the first one but that red crele is even better! Are you hatching those also?

Quote: I haven't seen any red creles yet and I'm just starting out with standard creles. The chicks are my first, so I'd say it will be a year from now. Assuming a get a pair out of the five

Sorry about your sick hen. Earlier this spring, my OE had vent gleet and sour crop. I treated her with generic monistat 3 vaginal suppositories and she recovered completely. If what you are doing doesn't work and you want to try what I did, just cut each suppository into 3 pieces and feed one of the pieces to your hen in the morning and another at night. (4 1/2 days of treatment) Once you have given her every piece of suppository, give her plain yogurt to restore the good bacteria. It took care of my hen's sour crop and vent gleet. A tube of lotion was included in the box with the suppositories that I purchased at Target. I used some of that on her vent area and then added it to my chicken medicine box.

 

[ronott1]

really cool Ron
are you going to breed them to?

I will be sending a couple of Roosters to Winters. The Egg Farmer might want to breed them. If not I can bring the Roosters in for "visits"

They are very cute!
