The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

I tried to send this pos once already... but I guess it got eaten by aol..

OK.. I wonder how much trouble and expense would be involved with importing chilled/frozen semen to AI our hens with??

Hmmmmm....that is a very interesting thought Renie. I would say we would still have some import red tape to get through, as that would be considered "chicken product."​

Bill - Thanks for this information. I checked out Power Poultry and those blacks are really something special. I think it would be okay to post the link here...

I watched a video today that only took me over a hr to load... ugg... but.. I did get to watch it... looks pretty simple to me. I have collected and AIed many dogs over the years. I do believe I could easily collect and AI chickens. I am sure vets would have to be involved for the collections and special tank would need to be purchased for the dry ice and straws of semen. I do know of a place online that actually sells all the equipment new.

It may be worth it for the very fact that you could potentially get more "semen straws" for the amount of money paid verses the cost of importing live birds/eggs. It's a huge risk, but the results may be much more favorable.​

Julie, the last blue girl pictured looks BIG!

She is very pretty.

She is Big. They are all Big. I just can't seem to portray it as well as I would like to

I think the next two will make some beautiful chicks. I have three pullets in with Prince. I am getting two to three eggs a day right now.
