Aww, that's so sweet. She is such a good mama! Let me know when she's ready again and I'll send you some eggs so she can hatch more like her.

I'm debating doing that very thing for my March hatch if I can swing the $$, Jody. She is so awesome, that girl. LOVE her and she is the size a Buff Orpington should be, with the fluff to cover it, LOL. That was a weird hatch so all I got was Nugget and two males I rehomed.

No $ needed. Let me know if I can help contribute to her motherly desires. I'm happy to. Anyways, she needs some friends who look like her.

I'm so happy to hear you love her. The buffs are so special to me too. I really enjoy them.

I'm interested in getting some Orpingtons for my new flock, and would prefer to purchase locally, anyone here know of a breeder in
New Hampshire that sells chick/hatching eggs ?
Cheers,
Zekii

I have never had heavy feathered hens before and today I noticed my Orpingtons both had some manure on their fuzzy butts~so.........do I wash them or what ? or is this a frequent occurrence?

With the super fluffy birds this sometimes happens, it can also cause issues with fertility.

You can continually wash your birds bums or give their fluff a trim!

Okay, I am no longer calling Unice a Mottled. For those who say they are raising Mottleds, that is for you to do.
I now call Unice an Exchequer Orpington. I have decided to build the Exchequer and my White Orpington barns with

SERPICO!!!

7 mo's plus a week or two ole, and performing like a stud that I hope he to be.
