Sorry John !

Thanks!, I was expecting it to be honest. I am coming up with a back up plan at the minute. I will break open the eggs on Monday and if they are fertile then I will set some more of my own, if not I will buy some. I think if she wants to sit for another 3 weeks after I get new eggs she can because she hasn't lost much weight at all and her comb is still red.

I wouldn't give them my money! And Bella is in a big strop because I have locked her mother away in the shed that she likes to lay in, so she lays her eggs on the floor and has decided she likes to sleep on the floor, she is so weird!

For those asking to see the difference in English Orpingtons and SOP Orps, here are a few photos Of 100% English, and 50% birds bred to the APA SOP. !00% English Pullet at 6 mos. By Monty. 50% Pullet by Monty, bred to a SOP hen, at 6 months. She will be shown. The Pest was determined to get her picture taken. All these taken by my talented friend who had never photographed birds before , Melissa Hinson. Monty, 1 Yr old 100% English, the sire of Moose, in back, at 6 months whose mom is a SOP hen. I can't wait to see just how big Moose will get !
