Hi Kassandra,

I already "know" you from the Faverolles thread. Obviously we are both members of the Fluffy Chicken Club.

I have eggs from gumpsgirl in the incubator right now - 2 weeks to go. Be sure to post pics of the chicks! Maybe they will tide me over til mine hatch.

Hey patty. Yes us weirdos with all the sweet fluffy breeds need to stick together! Haha. This will be my 2nd batch from her the first hatched 5-6. Can't remember. Anyhow I've lost a few along the way. Which is why my signature below now says 2 disowned dogs!! The ones I have are 13? Weeks and really pretty. Can't wait for them all to be grown and beautiful. This batch I'm pretty sure I ended up with one mediumish blue and 3 light blue and 3 splash.

This 11 week old boy is still with me. He has proper dark brown eye color and is slow to get his tail just like daddy Suede, LOL. He is the same shade of blue as his mother, Smoky. Gosh, I'm going to have to name him if someone doesn't take him soon! He is bred the the Americanized standard, which I honestly prefer to the imported types. Those are too Cochin-like to me.

Oh Cyn, That is a great picture! He looks like he is gonna be a big beautiful bird, too!

Wow, he's filling out to be one chunky boy.

I hope you can find him a home.

He's round as a basketball, that boy, LOL. This boy could be Seude's last youngster--no longer getting fertile eggs from that pen. Suede is almost 4 yrs old and not a motivated breeder any longer.

Well, in that case, Cyn .... you should keep him! You need to keep a big blue orp around there, ya know!

I plan to stop with the BBS Orps when my sweet Suedenator goes to that Great Roost in the Sky so I really don't need this cutie-roo. He's very sweet, though.

I felt like posting some new photos of my "Black Ops"

I put them in their new 4x8 coop today... So much fun!

1.2.3.4....I want to get me some more!!!

They look like little shadows in this picture

The Buff Orps wondering "Cousins??"

Nice looking birds Jonny. We just moved some of our black orp youngsters outside during the warm up this weekend. Good timing, as another cool down is coming quick.
