Hi
No I did not get the Email. I just checked my deleted mailbox. And there nothing sent to me on the 16th.
I do appreciate your reply. I am interested in Orps. Even project birds.
I have a few projects myself. I am in line for some of Terry's Buffs in the fall. I have some of Doug's pullets and a cockerel, and am working on introducing Heather V's line into them. I have a few Blacks, and not at all hesitating crossing a Doug bird into the Blacks. His are the very best Buff's I can get for pullet, and like your project type to me is more important then color. It will take 5 generations to get a Buff line from this cross. But the genetic diversity will be very healthy for the breed without introducing any other breeds of chicken.
All my birds are purebred Orps, and I strive to stregnthen, without compromising the integrity of the breed.
I appreciate your time and reply
thank you
Bill
