Aww I have wanted blacks forever now and I'm ordering some eggs and may go and get 2triosFinally gotten my first flock of Orpingtons!! They were born on the 23 and I cant believe how big they are!! I gotta go to the store to get me a bigger brooder for these little guys but im glad they are finally here. I have one blue for sure and another possible blue and the rest are blackies!! The breeder i got them from said the Sire was 14 lbs!!
I've always had EE"s so having a actual chicken breed has me all excited. They are such little pigs at that as well! Post pics of your new little ones when u get the chance! I'm guess black is favorite color?
They are a really laid back kind of chicken aren't they?
opinions on my october girl? Half english, half american from show quality stock.
The lacing is about the same but wow! Beautiful dark blue!She is a beautiful bird.This is my English Blue at 2 1/2 months. I think she is a little darker than yours, but I don't think her lacing is as nice.
It looks like "Diva" is a "Devin""Diva" our Lavender Orpington at 2 1/2 Months. He is quickly catching up in size to "Bell", one of our hatchery Buffs at 10 Months old.
