I don't think you have even come close to maxing out your excitement levels yet. We are talking ORPINGTONS, right? And you have enough to share. WoW, your a goddess!!​

Miss_Jayne I am just thrilled for you and the new additions!
Addiedunn, I am not stressed yet but it's still early in the game, glad your mom's party turned out good for you!
92caddy, I hope things go well for you!

 

[miss_jayne]

you are welcome and thank you!
we have a bazillion chickens (like i need more) but i have sold my buffs that were for my breeders to some people that were on my wait lists so this is a major blessing.

we have:
Chickens:
BO's, RC RIR's, DEL's, BBS ORPS, BBS AUSSIES, SS, WL, EE, Bantam Cochins, Mille Fleur D'Uccles and a bunch of other mixed breeds. (and hopefully if the hatch goes well, we will have Mille Fleur LEGHORNS!)

Turkeys:
Bourbon Reds, Blue Slates, Midget Whites, Bronzes, Calicos & one little black turkey someone sent me in a trade. i have NO idea what it is yet. it is ADORABLE.

Some Guinea Keets that i have NO idea the colors of, Quail of assorted types that are all being given away this week. ( i so don't like them like i thought i would)

waterfowl:
Rouen X Magpies, Khaki Campbells, Black and Blue Cayugas, Grey Calls, Black East Indies and Farmyard Toulouse Geese

you don't even want to know the list of what's in the bators. good gobs of gravy. my husband said, "I think six chickens would be wonderful for you, Honey." hmmmm.

[miss_jayne]

oh gosh. yep. we have three rescue cats, a rescue dog (she's the third) and two draft horses. oh, and a hedge hog. there may be other critters i don't know about and i'd like to keep it that way.

Nope, no dogs. Not that I don't like them and believe me I have had my share of them over the past xx years. When we moved to our home, we decided to rehome our Australian Cattle dog to a friend of mine and my dad took my other dog (she's can be a little aggressive). Our property is not fenced and I really don't like keeping dogs indoors all the time. Your puppies are really cute though!! I think if we ever get another dogs I would have to go for my favorite, Irish Setter! Right now, chickens outweigh any dog in my book
