Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

Looks like Bella's a mam again! It was Bella's mother orp originally sitting, but once I moved Bella into orps house orp started playing up. Not sure of it's because of Bella's arrival or because she was sitting for so long. Orps not been on the eggs for 4 days but refuses to leave the broody shed, so not sure what she's up to. I'm 10000% sure she won't hurt the babies so that's why I'm not forcing her out, she will just steal them if anything. Bella's a bit confused, probably because the eggs have hatched within a week of her being broody and because she probably doesn't remember being with a duck! Was so scared to go up this morning incase anything had happened to the duckling (rat drama), but luckily, the baby was safe! :)

Hi John. Adorable pictures!

Bella is such a good mom. Hope she gets to keep this one. Stinking rats.
Thank you! It was her mother who hatched the last ones out. Bella also hatched 3 out this time, but squished two! Not really her fault, she just has a really bad build for sitting!

Honestly you take the most beautiful pictures of your chick/duck subjects. I always enjoy them and aspire to do the same (although I only have four adult hens). Thank you for these.
