Robin, UK orpingtons are very different from American Orpingtons. They are much more fluffier, like cochin without the feathered legs. There are lots of examples on the internet.

Late morning, Okies:

Hope the temperature stays mild. I enjoyed feeding and watering without having to wring out a sweat band. DB in California had to cancel his visit with us. Wife and two-year-old niece aren't up to making the trip this year. Maybe when the baby is three we'll finally get to meet her. DS in FL will probably visit this winter. Can't wait to see how tall our nephew has grown. We get pictures all the time, but it's not the same as hugging them.

Donnie - You're right, and your grandmother gave you some great advice. Hope you get a lot done outside while you have the opportunity.

I use a small amount of bleach every time when I clean my incubator. Just be sure you rinse good and let it get good and dry.

I was told to use a cap full in the water tray (it is a lg/deep tray) in my GFQ to keep the slime out of it. Seems to work pretty good.

Good morning... sitting at work trying to keep my eyes open... Gatorade Perform 02 Thirst Quencher (Fierce Grape) on board.. think that will help??

How is everyone doing?

It was beautiful out in the garden this morning... but now at 8:42 and at work it's really starting to warm up outside. A high of 96 here today!

Morning All,
Donnie, remember that living well is the best "revenge". Stay strong!
- out to work on the "time-out" pen before it gets hot.
