The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[thedragonlady]

Hi,

I'm a "newbi" on BYC, but a longtime buyer on eBay. Please remember that when you use your bank account to pay Paypal, you are most times out of luck if the buyer misrepresents. ALWAYS use a credit...NOT debit card, to pay Paypal . I have always have used Citibank in over 1000 transactions , and even when Paypal dragged their feet, Citibank refunded my account immediately
when the 20 or so buys were bad, or not received.

took some more pic of my blue UK orpingtons

Wow beautiful rooster.

This is the only Orp chick I've hatched so far. Her tail is down because I had just picked her up to take her back into the garage and then plunked her down when I remembered that I wanted a picture.

She's from blue on blue and her lacing is SO much better than the previous generation. I've got a batch going into lockdown tomorrow. Wish me luck for finally getting my splash.

I know we shouldn't have to, but adding your name across the picture really helps. I had a few of mine stolen till I started adding our name on them
"water marking'.
I wanted to say thank you to Greg (oldorchardfarm) for giving me a heads up on the RBA auction. It ended up "the guy" was banned on RBA and no one had to purchase his eggs.

Anytime!

Rockingpaints: Here is a pic of my Blue Boy that I got from some hatching eggs you gifted my daughter in December. His lacing is starting to show a bit. He is almost 4 months old. I want to cross him with an English Black that we have. Crossing my fingers for Splash.



We had a problem with a fox this past week and lost two of the LCOs from that hatch (along with 3 other chooks, 2 of which I had a sale agreement on). We now own our first gun. I've also been working everyday on a new run.

Very nice boy.

If my memory serves me right he was from our American coop out of our May/Horstman flock? Good luck and thank you for sharing.
I am really sorry to hear about the predator.

If you are in need of eggs to replace them PM me and I would certainly be happy to send some to you! We have now added a beautiful HinkJC roo to that coop so a tiny bit different blood line.
Got any pics of your English girl? Would love to see her.

Thanks Rebel Yell.
