Thanks Harry, I never hatch chicks in August. A lady in TN run me crazy wanting chicks and I said OK. The week they hatched we hit 115 deg and mailing chicks would not be good. I ended up with these late bird and Renie was looking for some and helped me get them a new home. They are out of my old Clevengers birds and a new guy I got from Fred.

She is lovely with a nice head and comb. It looks like she is laying or about to.She's not too fluffy ! You can see her hocks clearly.

She just started laying. Thank you for the nice comment. This is the second time I have posted on this thread and both times you have commented and I appreciate the feedback. I am trying to get started with Orps and look forward to seeing how they turn out.

At 16 weeks I would say yes. And with her comb and wattles starting to redden up I would guess 2-3 weeks from first egg.

YES !! For the hundreth time Johnn !! You should have eggs in 6-12 weeks. She is not a hatchery Orp.

My biggie girls are almost 31 weeks and no eggs yet. It's definitely a study in patience compared to getting hatchery stock. But their gorgeousness makes up for the wait.
