The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

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

Really nice group of chicks. I am loving the milk cow too. I just wouldn't want to have to do it 7 days a week and we don't drink milk anymore. I love homemade butter though and buttermilk which I do use in bisquits.

Some pictures of juvenile silver laced orpingtons coming from stock that I imported from Keith's Orpingtons Poultry in England.






They are still young so I expect that the lacing will be better when they mature and after the first complete molt.

Oh goodness, they are so pretty!!!

Yes, here too.we went from 90 degrees to freezing and snow. I know my garden will suffer a bit, but, I think most of it should be OK. My crab apples and pear trees are a loss.

It has been a long night here... lost power well after dark soo had to hook the genny because the incubator, brooders, and baby goat needed power. It just came back on a few mins ago. Praise God. The yard was a blanket of snow. All the fruit trees bent over with the weight of it. 2 of my big umbrellas are laying on their sides... and steps to the porch are icy I bet my tomato plants bit the dust But on the bright side... I bet some bugs died..lol
