Hey Roger, I have 3 out of 4 pips so far from the eggs you gave me. Hopefully I will have some babies by tomorrow!

My other babies are doing great. They have moved out of the bathroom and into a transition building. They had a nice time in a Juvie pen yesterday.

OK, Nellie, I'm officially blind. I've played Where's Waldo and couldn't find the Gold Laced among her chicks...

I enlarged the pics and if that is all of the chicks there are - no GL

Looks like Partridge and white for sure, Jubilee and red possible - but no GL.

Dee, you are the GL radar

Here are your kids Nellie. They are "helping" my milk cow, Crimson Moooooon with her dinner.

Hi Christal, great picture! Nice group

love it! I am jealous of the milk cow. I used to have milking goats but my hands are too bad to milk anymore

and I made the best goat milk fudge, ice cream and butter.....

......Oh gosh now I really miss it!

Sorry you had to give up your goat :'( I love my fresh milk and butter. It is a lot of work to milk twice a day though- hope I don't get early carpal tunnel. I love all the friendly orpingtons. Yours get prettier everyday. The two gold lace at the bottom are photo-bombing Cochin ladies.

I hatched out a splash 10 days ago and normally I do not post pictures of splashes. This chick is huge! I have never had such a big chick. I just have to post it.

Ok so now that I decided on English Orpington bantams, I can't decide who here on BYC has the best birds to buy hatching eggs from. What should I look for in the parents when selecting the hatching eggs to buy?
Thanks again, Banty

What a bunch of fluffy butts! Looks like they sure enjoy sharing dinner with the cow

. That was goat's......... I had about 8 Nubians and Lamanchas

, I have arthritis in my thumbs which makes it impossible to milk now

, thank goodness chickens don't need to be milked

. I have become quite the expert on thumb splints, braces and NSAIDs, it's on the list "things your mother never told you about getting old"...............
