The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[justuschickens59]

Jeremy - Yep, they will be shipped tomorrow. Already have shipment confirmed with the PO (did that Friday). I have the box ready and the little nest pad in it. I'll take a picture of all of them before I ship them. I have to have them to the PO before noon (I won't take them until the last minute). I will PM you with the tracking number when I get back. WHen I talked to the Postmaster on Friday, she said they should be there by Tuesday.

That sounds great Joy! Thank you so very much for letting me have the privilege of raising some of your beautiful birds.
I'll call first thing tomorrow in the morning and make sure my postmaster knows I'm expecting a box of little fuzzys.

Ok Jeremy and Beth. You two are way too dang excited!! Sheesh. Some people. Heehhee I'm just jealous. You two are making me excited and antsy to get mine. Congrats on the babies everyone and congrats on the splash Jeremy ya big whiner. And I guess congrats Joy too on the splash since you haven't been getting them.

Thanks Kassandra !! Yours will be on the way in the near future !!

Well, the last little guy just hatched and now everybody is out. Had a 100% hatch. Every egg that went into the incubator was fertile and hatched successfully, so I'm really pleased about that.

Will take pictures in the morning of everybody and post. Now I'm heading to bed for some much needed sleep...didn't get much sleep last night and it's super late for me tonight also. I'm beat...but happy.

Conratulations to. . . . . . .ME!!!!

Sorry, couldn't help that-

Joy, you are a hatching Queen- that is fantastic that they all made it! Hope you get some much needed sleep!

Kassandra (I love your name- always been on of my favorites) we will have fun "watching" with you when your hatch comes.

Jeremy- I will take you up on the offer of the first splash- thanks!

Kathy- when you get time I would love update pics of your three little ones-

Thanks!!! And congrats to you too!!! Hopefully I'll have someone fun to fight with and cheer with on the batch that mine hatch from like you and Jeremy did.

3 out and 2 more pipped. Taking their time...for sure!

Question...how is it you guys are able to take such pretty FLUFFY pictures so soon after drying out. Mine have matted fluff...do you rub them with a towel or something?

(currently nursing a splayed leg SPPR that hatched last night)

 

[joletabey]

Wow- Cheryl, this is turning into a long, drawn out affair for you- hope your little spraddle leg rights itself quickly!
