Bella AND her mother are both disowned now!, i do not like them anymore!

I will send you a box...Mail them right on over...

I think Vickie might indian leg wrestle me for them

I think it is Bella who is laying those little eggs because they are in the same box as another orpingtons egg which i think is Bellas mothers egg....

Here's my girl...I need to get some newer pics as she actually has a little red comb, and has started to lay me some eggs. Big round brown eggs. But she isn't a nice hen at all..the only time I can get near her is when they are roosting, and she pecks me...

shes probably going to be the boss...That looks like a real comfy shed for them

Yeah, its the top of a 2 story garage thing...It's 18x20 and we only have 10 chickens, so they have lots of room in there right now. I plan on upping the numbers soon. Lol. Of course. We are going to build another coop that is sort of attached to the under building. So that should give us ample chicken room. Thank you for the compliment. The guy we got her from said she was a golden comet, but as soon as I saw what a golden comet looked like I knew that she was not one...and then I saw pics of buff orpingtons, and there is no difference between them. He also told me that my huge rooster was a leghorn...No way, unless he is the biggest leghorn ever. He's gotta be a white rock.
Right now she is still sort of on the bottom of the adults. She still rules over the younger birds though. It seems to me that any of the hens that are laying think they are the boss. Lol.

I have some larger girls here who would sort them out, and Monty won't tolerate the girls fighting either.

Haha, they could easily beat Bella, Its Bellas mother who is actually tough, dethroned the top hen on her first 5 minutes, took over 5 hens in her first 10 minutes, helped Bella get one place up in the pecking order. She is a tough girl!
