Orpington Thread

[BuffBeck]

Hello there! I have a flock of Mark Sacre English Blues, and they're awesome!

My blue Roo, "Sluggo" mated with a my black Australorp hen, so now I have an English Australorpington, too.

He's beautiful!

 

[Kyzmette]

Wow, he really is gorgeous.

 

[BuffBeck]

Aww, thank you guys! He's a real goof-ball.

 

[BlackPanther]

He's lovely

(I'd like to see your Australorpington, too.

We'll I lost that 1 runty chick. And another one that developed a really nasty pasty butt. I cleaned it 2x a day, but it kept coming back worse. In a way I'm glad they went now because they aren't suffering. Also lost 2 Sumatra chicks due to what I'm guessing is shipping stress. The others all seem to be doing well.

Hi again! Here's my Australorpington pullet, "Inky":

She's got a bit looser feathering and darker comb. She's also not as limber as a true Aussie; but she gets that from her dad.

Ok weekly update. Chicks are doing great! I couldn't get a good pic today because they wanted to race around too much. I'll try again tomorrow. Can't wait till I can sort out the Sumatra babies so I know who's who

I just adopted my first hens last week as well as getting a few chicks. I have a buff Orpington hen named Martha and a BO chick named Leah. I am looking forward to getting to know them better.

She's very interesting!
