A selfie with my new rooster, Henry. He is a Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington. I have 6 Chocolate pullets/hens and 3 Mauves. Henry is already bigger than the hens but still growing. He doesn't even have stubs for Spurs on his legs yet. Friday I took him to My neighbor Jack's to show Jack my new bird. Henry bit my arm and held on, leaving a bruise. By the walk back home he was snuggling in my arms and now offers me treats when I go to the quarantine pen. I love Orpington's personalities; so calm and curious. I really am happy with the three breeds I will be hatching this year- Lavender Bantam Cochins, Showgirls/Silkies and Chocolate/Mauve/Cuckoo Orpingtons- plenty of personality all around!
I forgot! I am breeding More Blue/Black/Splash Marans and Olive Eggers too. I got a Beautiful Splash Marans roo this past Saturday. He is great too. Got to get his pictures to post!
