The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Hey Sandy, won't even cost you any oger food. I trimmed mine back in Dec but didn't seriously set any eggs until last week because I was waiting on Thurston to mature more. Set 51 eggs, and thankfully 50 are fertile from 8 hens. I'm sorry I'm so slow responding but not home enough to keep up with thread. Have to ride herd at the chicken ranch you know. Before trim, no fertiles at all out of other roosters.

You old rooster!! I've been worried about you!!! I'm going to call on you if and when it's time for butt trimming.

I think the English Orpingtons are beautiful. Are there any 'part" English/regular orpington breeders in Michigan ....does anyone know?
Thanks!

I have Neville!

He's safe at home in a pet carrier, I had to leave for work right after I picked him up from the PO but I'll be sure to try and get some pictures when I get home this afternoon.

Joy I want to see pictures of some fuzz butts, too!

Neville seemed to be in good health, he was making rooster noises in the box all the way home and he went right to eating and drinking when I presented him with food.

I know I lurk more than post but wanted to tell Jeremy I am so happy you have Neville and so sorry about your beloved Edmund.

My lovely Bama girls are starting to lay - they are 11 months old

Joy - I am so happy to read about chicks hatching

I cannot wait until there are enough to ship

I am so excited.
