Haahah! You caught me!
Actually though I am about 30 minutes away from Orp heaven!
They're on the pricey side but I don't mind paying a little more, since I don't buy many.

Some one wanted pics (like I don't know who) of my silkies mothering the Americana's. So here they are below. I am also going to be picking up 10 BCM on the 14th if all goes well with her

Harley those are adorable! I think you should get some Australorps. Nice large egg and friendly!

Ms Jellybean, those are some beautiful carrots!
This is a very slow moving thread!
Today I am cautiously excited. My almost 3 week old mystery chick that was sent with my 16 red and black star pullets is a standard buff Cochin. I want it to be a rooster since I don't have one except in my silkie pen. I read today that the cockerels are slow to get pin feathers and wings start out very short and rounded. The pic showing a Cochin pullet at 3 weeks was more like the black star below, with longer tail feathers and wings, while the pic of the cockerel was still fluffy butt with short wings, just like mine! Now I need to name him. I chose Chunk, but the grand kids nixed that as being mean

Thank you

Chunk is a great name. Perhaps the grandkids will like Chuck. I always think of Charlie Brown when I hear the name Chuck. Peppermint Patty called him that all the time.....

I chopped onions for 45 minutes this morning to get them ready for the freezer. My arms are sore....

I've been trying to do this with my yard so I will have all kinds of goodies for my chickens. Now, if the squirrels will just stop digging up what I plant all will be good.

Ooh I forgot about Australorps!
I spent a few hours looking for non-hatchery Aussies and couldn't find any close!

Now if you get CHOCOLATE Orps, you can bet I'll be knocking, asking you to take my money! Lol
