The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[HenHacienda]

I have 4 hens/ 1 Roo That are Marc Sacre lines Mediums I hatched. One is in profile pic. They are only about 4 months old, it's my understanding should be about 3.5 - 5 lbs--they are filling out nicely and super cute! I can't wait until they start laying. I was lucky and hatched 5 out of 6 shipped eggs.

No, I'm sorry. I only occasionally sell chicks and juveniles.
Feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss

the standard for bantam Orps calls for C-38 oz. H-34 oz, K-34 oz and P-30 oz. Most UK bantams are much larger than birds shown in the US.

Thanks for the info Dragonlady. I'm pretty certain mine are going to be larger than that, since they are M. Sacre Imports Did you by chance look up Medium Bantams? I guess I could. lol

 

[HenHacienda]

Well there is 16 oz in a pound. I was off a bit, I just looked in up. The Med. are 3-4 lbs, least the imports that I have. I guess time will tell as they grow up--they do have short backs and are getting fluffy skirts What's something good to weigh them with?

 

[HenHacienda]

Feel free to send some my way. I'll pay shipping teee heee. I have two LF chocolates that are about 4 weeks old from FancyChick and I've some eggs in the bator from Autumn Farms
