The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[Renie'sPeeps]

Your very welcome. I taught myself this while hatching bullet eggs

I thought I post a couple of pictures of my birds.







And here is a picture of my miniature psuedo- border collie who is a retired chicken herder because my chickens are twice as big as she is now and no longer put up with her chasing them back into the pen.

One of my guinea hens successfully evaded me, and hatched out some keets... I thought she had lost them all (guinea are awful moms), but my jubilee orpington hen that kept trying to go broody has somehow picked one up. I guess they can squeeze through chicken wire. Ha ha. Silly lady.

aww so cute...I would find her a few more keets and let her have them...she looks like a great mom!

Great pictures of birds but sorry the yorkie steals the show for me. I had my yorkie babies for 15 years.

Christabell - the momma hen and a baby is just an awesome sight. I can't imagine spring without broody hens now.

I agree with LotsACluckin need a few more babies!

If I find any more keets, ill give them too her. I'm pretty sure the rest are gone though. I haven't seen the momma guinea with her babies for a couple days. I kinda wish I could read chicken minds. I would like to know what she is thinking when her chickie-chick grows a horn.

Not trying to get off the subject but I found a  great recipe for a Shampoo bar and it is great. Has tea tree oil in it. I used a little peppermint too. Be glad to share the recipe with you if your interested..
I don't buy anything but dishwashing liq. and dishwasher detergent. 

BTW I  have black chicks hatching today.  Veru excited/  Only thing I see one pipping the bottom of the egg. I rarely have that problem. Hope it can get out.

I would like the recipe.

Me too!

Guinea mothers are absent minded ,ADD riddled, ding bats. I've seen them march off into tall grass and leave a trail of stranded, rapidly chilling keets. They are really desert birds who only reproduce, and rear keets well, in a sand enclosure.They've made me so furious in the past at their lack of mothering skills that I've wondered if their intelligence wouldn't be improved by shooting the horn off their heads.

Look at my nice Kubota tractor. If you're really looking at the tractor, then you should probably use Google to find some more pics of tractors.
