OSU, my blue boy is 3 months. Taking his picture in the woods was not well thought out.. I really want some blues, and am not sure if he should be kept for breeding or not.

Silver fox, what an amazing girl!

Jeremy, how is the fertility on the BBS eggs that you were going to auction? Have you had any success? I've been keeping my fingers crossed, you've got such beautiful birds.

 

[OSUman]

Oh, hes way to young to tell if he will be good or not. Wait until hes about 6-8 months and you will know for sure.

The Orps are the small holdings fav breed

they where on sale as POLs a week ago for £45 i think that equates to $71 each

they have since been sold and a new batch is being reared hatched on 03/25/2012

im seriously considering getting some as i get them kindly delivered for me too by the owner

all my hens are from there

Went over to my good friend and chicken partner Imogene's house this afternoon so I could get a few photos of the Cocks she hatched or I hatched and gave her from my birds last year. These are two of them. We decided if we both had some to ensure we keep the best and both of us don't have to keep as many we would be better off. These are some wide load and spoiled boys. Just turned a year old this week

This is a blue boy I got her to keep since I kept two here. He is a great color and typey

This is another very Chesty boy at Imogenes. We have three black males between us

Last but not leasts a rear view

here are my 6 week old Orps. I'm having a hard time figuring out their sex. Here are some photos. Let me know what you think of them in general too.


#1


#2


#3


#4

 

[naturespace]

Another two pictures of #1. I think it's a BIG pullet.

 

[BamaChicken]

Looks like a pullet. I always look at tails and color on the blues. The males usually have some sor of shading for the dark saddle. The splash looks like a pullet in the pic.
