I absolutely love your chocolate orps!Hi, been a lurker for a while. Thought I'd post some pictures of my English Bantam Chocolate Rooster and a few of his girls. This is Napoleon: little rooster with a big attitude!

amazing! !!2 new big runs added on the left for the boys . Six tons of sand shoveled. And I wonder why I have a lousy back !
Some of Monty's kids who will be going to new homes in a few weeks....
that is really wonderful Vicki! nice set up...husband has a friend stop by this last weekend ..hes a poultry man..he flipped over your buffs...said that was the best coloring he had ever seen..the babies are just amazing now that their adult feathers are coming in..he couldnt get enough of them..the guys were grilling out and even when they were eating, he positioned himself so he could watch the buff pen..
Finally I have dedicated pens for the boys, where they can't see the girls. These are plenty large to put a few girls in too.Right now all the girls are molting, and trailing their undies about the yard !
LMAO!! Worst thing is, I know what you're saying! Still a feather storm from babies molting here, the "grown" ones haven't started yet. But oh yes, my best broody is ...
well broody again. Guess I'll have to just keep her that way a few more weeks cause I didn't want to start incubating for another couple weeks.

She will handle it Sarah..I had an australorp hen that I swear she knew when there were fertile eggs around and she would wait the 2 weeks for me if I needed..she was a real gem..she raised many little babies..
She will, it's true. This girl has waited longer than that before. And we have an understanding. She knows what to expect from me and I know what to expect from her, provided I do my part. She's a good one. And absolutely a crazy nut in all other ways, definitely a hatchery mix - I've no idea where that oddball personality came from cause it ain't Orp! I've gotten attached to her. You should see her get all up in my face wanting a sip of my beer in the evenings. I can't say no, it's just too funny.LMAO!! Worst thing is, I know what you're saying!

PS - the 100% English from Vickie - yep, she's learned about beer too. Must be the english blood and she thinks I run a pub!

Well I know I probably should have, but I didn't get rid of my ornery BO. I've decided to give it more time. I don't pet her any more and when she gave me a peck on the foot this morning I told her in a stern voice knock it off and she stopped and walked off, so maybe we can work it out. I just don't want to give up on her to soon and I hate to separate her from her sister that I raised her with. After all John can put up with Bella
