OK, BYC is being stingy with forking over posts here. I cannot retrieve posts later than 5:20 my time, and I even posted one laughing at
aviary's post. has yet to show here. So if this is a double post....it wasn't initially.


Maybe laughing so hard at ApiaryandAviary's "I see black and gold" jammed up some gears.


Aviary,

its 5:25 can you hear me now??? vbg

Minihorse, some of the folk in the Eng Orp Breed thread have said that they are still growing at a year...and that at 14 months they may have matured more and approached their adult weight. My roo, OrpB, was ten pounds at ten months old. My blue hen, his younger "sister from another mother" was eight pounds at nine months.

Yeah, so just today, the thread opens at the beginning of page one, with the chick on the Dixie flag....and I've read that first page a "few" times before realizing the thread no longer opens on the first unread post where I left off. So yeah. Or maybe "internet explorer has stopped unexpectedly" prior to my sending, just to mess with me.

Aviary,

If you smiled, good. Everyone needs a laugh and at the very least, a smile every day.

Your issues could be from Internet Explorer, or at least it could be making it worse... I use Google Chrome or Firefox cuz Internet Explorer has always acted more like a virus than a browser for me... just a thought...

Yup, Orps mature slower than a lot of breeds... English are usually slower than the American ones... most of any of the 'heavy breeds' are slow maturity, like Jersey Giants as well... my Lav Orp beefed up considerably from month 5 to 6... stay warm, Jem!

yea, my oldest hens at 1.5 years finally matured out fully. I'm just slowly getting used to these slowly maturing breeds after over 5 years of raising them!

Guess that does increase the risk of rehoming or culling a bird that you wish you'd kept....or I guess, vice versa? However, if you get a breeders bird at crowing..or under 6 months...you might just have lucked into an outstanding bird when it matures.
