Congrats on the vows... hope you had a fantastic honeymoon...

Well here is a pic of my buff orps just a couple days shy of 6 weeks... I have all hens... no roos... I would venture to say you have yourself a roo there from the details you gave... but I am no exspert.

This is my daughter Jesse and just a few of her friends ... they were all attacking her and I just had to grab the camera and start taking pictures... the look on her face is priceless LOL she just was not really in the mood for pictures.

Hello Andy,

I've got just the thing you want, one male one female 7 weeks (I think) They're currently asleep on the top rung of the clothes horse, but I'll try and get a pic tomorrow, either here or I'll send an e-mail!

Nice to have you back! Shame about the orp - I've got 4 to get rid of!!

Cheers Chrisssie

Oh well... good luck in finding a good home for them!
