I went on a field trip to Heirloom Orpingtons

If it hadn't been storming and horrific, I'd have gotten a ton of photos, but I did get some.

I came home with a couple of birdies and I'm really looking forward to getting more!!

I want to live there. They have all these wonderful coops that are just like a chicken fairy tale, and huge runs with tons of room. Longhorn cattle and world class quarterhorses are everywhere you look, and I just stand with my mouth open every time I get there...thought I'd share a bit!

I know!!! Just one- I would love to have just one to put with my lemon cuckoos. They are so expensive though

Lovely birds.

Look at all the pretty colors. I NEED some!

The Buffs caught my breath. I normally don't have an affinity for buff...but **WOW!!**

I have never seen red orps before! they are goregous. Do they sell hatching eggs? Where are they located?

Yes, they have a bunch of varieties that are new to the US- they're located just south of Oklahoma City...a loooooong day trip for me! I want the reds and the buffs!
