Tsagirl, hey no I will not be selling my pure blue orp eggs this year as I only have 2 blue hens and after posting these pics I have had a few email or pm me for chicks. I will offer some eggs from the cross of Blue Orp rooster over the Buff and Blue hens. I will see how many are layed this afternoon and will put a post in the for sale thread once I see how many eggs are available.

Julie, thanks I was really pleased with them. I thought they where some really nice big chicks. Your chicks are very nice also. Now just to wait and see how they turn out.

Are your birds bantams or large fowl?

Nice chicks, JM! I got a pair yesterday and 24 hatching eggs! I can't wait to be able to post photos like yours in 21 days!

I'm jealous of all these blue orp babies everyone has!!!! Hopefully by the 3rd week of March I'll have some of my own!!

Kris, the chicks pictured are large fowl, I do have 2 pairs of Orp bantams though I have a black pair and a black roo with a blue hen.

MP thanks and good luck on your hatch also.

Katy, you'll get those blue orp babies

I hope you're right. The only Blue orp eggs I ever had were also my only complete hatching failure.....not even one.

Jim, sorry, I just have had a chance to get back on. I took a few pics for you to see. I have one and couldn't find the other of him as a chick. The one I have is one where he is starting to feather in, and then today as he looks.
