Jim, yes mine are just pets. I do not have the resources to breed them. So I would not reject an orpie

Although any rare trait would most definitely become extinct in my care...
By teh way, I recall you telling me that your lavenders were very sweet. Heck, the lavender I got from you is the sweetest and most personable of all! A puppy in feathers...

I have two lavenders from Jim and mine too are sweet as can be. I love them to bits. Though Extra Crispy rules the coop with an iron fist.

Got 7 eggs yesterday and one of them was green/blue! I'm so excited that Hootie, my EE laid an egg. It seems like they go through a period of being really chatty and suddenly over-friendly towards me before they start laying eggs.



 
beautiful eggs and a very pretty shade of green, don't you just love the variety of shapes,sizes and colors that we get from our girls!

I do love the variety, and my camera really doesn't do them justice! Got a huge torpedo one from my Golden Laced Wyandotte a little while ago. It was interesting watching her lay the egg. She would pick up wood shavings and carefully place them on her bald spot on her back, as tho she was trying to cover it up. Many of my poor girls look partially plucked on their backs, poor things! I have others that love to dust bathe in the wood shavings and then everyone crowds around to pick the shavings off. Silly birds! I love them so!
