The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Thanks Irene. I add goats milk to all my batches that I dont mind being a cream color. but i have to resort to the canned stuff. '
Just want to say we have been blessed with a very mild winter. It has really seemed like Spring for months. Tonite it will get in the thirtys but will warm back up the rest of the week. Makes things nice for Chickens.

I am going to have to wait for the kids to come before worrying about milk though.. Heck she isn't even in season yet... lol But you know me... I like being prepared

FYI - for anyone that had eggs to hatch over the weekend - it was the best phase of the moon for the month of Feb!

It's a neat looking color but that bird could be a green paisley and the shape of him would still suck us in. Looks like you could roll him around with a stick. Anyone know if that's a stable color in the breed, anywhere? Although crele is similar and there are some good UK type over there.

We fairly recently had a full moon. Would the timing after a full moon always apply to any month?
