The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[nursebettie]

If you weren't so far away then we may have had one we could sell.

I have had to buy hatching eggs and ship birds, but I am determined to show nice birds....... And they are beautiful with great temperments. At least we have some activity here. I am lucky that korfus kluckers is an hour from me. Then 3-4 hours away i have some great cochin breeders.

My new Sportsman has been delivered... Now, I need eggs to hatch! My girls went on strike again. I don't think they like frigid wind chills. The English Orps don't seem to mind. They actually nest outside at night. My chocolate boys are all suffering from frostbit combs. I guess no matter what you pay for them, they are still chickens and no one else said they were overly intelligent.

You're luckier than me with having a good source in driving distance. One thing I've learned though, if you want nice birds, you do indeed have to be determined! Hope you get some nice ones for your guy soon.
