The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[HighStreetCoop]

These young pullets are directly from Julie McDuffie Batchelor I will be adding these beautiful girls to my own bloodline this spring!

They are missing some tail feathers where I had them housed with older Jubilee pullets. I now have them in their own separate house to recover before the breeding season!

If you are interested in eggs from these beauties please message me here or E-mail me at [email protected]

We plan to start shipping eggs out In early March but to guarantee yourself some eggs early in the Season you can place your order now and pay later!

These gals are beautiful! Gah, you're all making me want to move to the country where I can have ALL THE CHOOKS!!!

[COLOR=141823]I was able to take some pictures today of one of my silver laced Orpington breeding groups. These are just a few birds to be used in our 2015 breeding program.[/COLOR]

I wish I could order eggs or chicks from you, but unfortunately I am under the USPS embargo for zip codes... (044...). Makes me upset...

Sometimes you can get around that if you're willing/able to drive to a post office in an unembargoed zip code to pick them up. Someone way up the thread had to do this.

What's with a USPS embargo??

Some zip codes can't have live animal shipments, usually due to frequent other cargo that requires dry ice that would be deadly to the animals being shipped.

So what happened to Julie (Bamachicken)? Is she still raising her orps she got several years ago?

BTW, those pullets from her look great!

Yes, she still has her great birds. She is on Facebook and just showed some pictures of her birds they looked great.

So I am trying to upload some pictures of my imported red and partridge English Orps. Here is Ginger Lee, at 14 weeks old. A closer up one of her siblings and one presenting his bum, thank you very much. Can anyone tell me, is this amount of downy feathers normal at this age? They are the loose fluffy type which is great - just wondering.
I am really enjoying having them; quite goofy and very sweet. It is still an interesting journey to get them all the way into the henhouse at night, as they are like toddlers with much discussion and things of interest to inspect on the journey.
