The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Wow, great way to catch up with all the new pictures. Everyone is going to have much fun this breeding season.

Thanks for the info about Sandy's site. I just wanted to look at her pictures of the GL again. I'd seen some GL and thought they looked like her line. Just trying to train the eye.

Whack-a-chicken anyone? In my inexperience, I made the holes
on my transport boxes too big. Oh well, entertainment on the road...






They both systematically went through and stuck their heads out of each of the holes. It was quite a show

You could play chicken roulette with those. Do the lids snap on at the sides? I noticed you put the clothes pins on them. You can take the same box and make an easy nest box for $5. Just cut a large hole in the front with a utility knife, throw some hay in it, and place a weight on top to keep the chickens from knocking it over. It works in a pinch.
 
I am very happy with how my birds are growing out they are about 10 months old the rooster may be a couple months younger than the hens, I did not raise them from chicks so I do not know the exact hatch date.

But anyway here are a few pics of my black orpingtons


I can never get any good pictures of her..she either has her head down eating or she is standing weird or the wind is blowing in this pic she is standing ok but the wind is blowing her tail up LOL but she is still pretty...she just started laying a few days ago...she is still giving me tiny pullet eggs but at least she started!
