Duct tape will fix all of those problems
Actually selling them is illegal.
Telling the kids that you are selling them is, however, just fine. Might even work. ;-)
Those are beautiful! I wonder if that is the same case with the Brahma's in some way because the book that I saw them in (and that made me fall in love with them) they were solid golden color...much like the buff orp pictured...but when I go to hatchery websites they all have black in their tales and around their heads/necks. :/ I just love the idea of big, fluffy, friendly gals with fluffy feet.I'm so sorry MOM2 and NOVA. Nova, you did all you could, literally. I really liked him, he was such a good man to his ladies. Things gotta turn around for you, they just gotta. I think he knew he was loved, or he wouldn't have lingered so long.
The hatchery orpington's are NOT the orpingtons you see in the chicken books, those are the ENGLISH orpingtons. Totally different, the english have so many feathers their legs don't even stick out, and they have tiny combs and are supposed to be very laid-back. Hatchery orpingtons have combs, and legs sticking out, and mine was MEAN. Great broody, but MEAN. My easter eggers are my favorite, they chase me down and jump right into my lap.
