Well we lost all of our Chocolate Cuckoo Orps, appeared to be Cocci, maybe to much stress from the move. 9 hes in a van may have been to much, everyone else seems fine from the trip.

Hey, Roger! We're here, just extremely busy preparing for a storm that only dropped a 1/2" of snow with some ice to top it off :/

Hope all is well at the new place in AL

Oh NO! So sorry. Did you move? Or were you traveling for a show?

We drove 9hrs to pick them up and 9 Horse back along with Mottled/spangled Orps and domes Pavs. Everyone else is fine but these guys had a lot of blood in their stool after 2 days, we thought it was just one but they all dies within 24hrs of the first death.

Sorry to hear of your loss.
If you decide you would like to try again I also raise LF Chocolate Cuckoo and may have some extras.
Feel free to send a PM if you are interested

Absolutely love these English Orpingtons! I need hens, not roos, so is my only option to order from a hatchery? Seems like breeders only offer straight run. Any chance of buying pullets this time of year?

That's awful!! They may have been getting ill before you got them too. Cocci is so quick.

What variety are you looking for? I believe Reniespeeps is up in your neck of the woods.
