Tricia, my sincere condolences. What is it with our group? First Katy and Joy's Orpingtons and now our dogs. My 18 1/2 year old Papillon collapsed without any warning and had to be put to sleep this afternoon. She has left a huge void. Her daughter is 16, and she's been lying by Posie's bed since we got home from the vet - she won't leave it. It's been pouring rain so we will bury her tomorrow.
Well Kathy that stinks. I just trimmed Charlie's butt and the three girls i have in there with them. I Hope to get fertile eggs there too soon. I started out with lots of fertiles and this weeks hatch will consist of 10 eggs. Next week should be a lot better. You might need to give those boys some vitamin E

I just don't understand this. I have fertile eggs in every pen I have, EXCEPT these Orps! I am just soooo frustrated. I have decided I am not doing AI. If they don't reproduce, well then ......... that's all I will have.
Hope you have a great hatch and lots of fluffy butts on parade!
I QUIT ! ! ! NOT ONE fertile egg. It has been over 6 months. I am not incubating any more Orp eggs. I am so mad I could spit nails.
Dangit Kathy! I am so sorry to hear that. Why don't you move a different breed of roo in there, to see if that is what is going on. You said you had 2 in, and took one out. Maybe you took the wrong one out?
I have tried both of them. I now have 2 black girls in with my Lavender Orp. I hope those eggs will be fertile! I believe they will be, as I have seen them mate.
