The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Jeremy -

We still are waiting for that picture of Neville !!

Well, I have chicks. Another egg has a pip, but the other two eggs haven't pipped yet. I heard them peeping in the shell yesterday, but I don't hear anything this morning. I am still hoping they might hatch. I'll try to get pictures later today.

Good thing you posted Joy. I was about to call and get the verdict. I want to see pics. I am very interested in seeing the light blue.
I am going to be working on pens today. I have got to run to town to the P.O. near lunch time and a few other errands but I am going to be checking occasionally for pics.
BTW Joy, my blackberry basil got here yesterday. I will call later this afternoon and give a update.

I'm working on a divider to put in the Orpy coop today, I'm gonna let Neville and the girls get acquainted from a distance at first and after a couple of weeks put them all together.

He's been inside since his arrival... this morning though he woke me up around 5:15 crowing, no need for an alarm clock when you've got a rooster just outside your bedroom door, eh?

Julie - I have one that I am not sure if is a very, very light blue or a splash. Doesn't look like any splash that I have hatched. I am going to get a picture shortly (they are all napping right now) and send to you and you tell me what you think. I will also send you that photo of the splash I was telling you about yesterday.

Oh great !!! How does it smell? I haven't gotten the 3 that ordered yet - I hope to get today. I need to check my oil stock to see if I need to make and order. If I have enough, I'm making the Moroccan Fig this weekend.

Okay - call me later - I'll be here slogging away through work. I have a hard time working - I just want to sit here and watch these silly chicks. THey're so cute.

LOL !!! I had Winston in the house for about 21 days and the crowing just bounced off the walls and echoed through the house !! Still waiting on Neville pictures Jeremy !!

(P.S. - Sorry I missed your call last night - call today if you want - I'll be here all day).

I've had a gazillion PMs and e-mails asking me about a pair. I listed an auction of featherauction.com for a pair last night. Just kinda curious what it will do.

It smells just like blackberry jam and is making me hungry. It actually got here in time for class last nite so I did a small batch. I am going to do another later today so I can send you some.
I want to take some chick pics on mine but I need to erase a few pics on camera. I am going to go buy and get the ones of my shaving grandson made up so I can erase and take a few pics. I need another camera card apparently.

I'll snap some pictures when I get him settled outside. I'm sure the girls will be quite taken with him, he's a pretty boy.

No problem about the missed call, I just had to tell you about the possible pullet egg, which is now in the bator!

Julie, what's Blackberry Basil? I've never heard of it.
