The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[Orps]

I found a old video clip of my "clicker training" sessions when my chickens when they were chicks. Thought I would share it. They were taught to touch a target for food. I transfer the behavior to a bell on my back door. Kind of like when a dog rings a bell to go outside. Actually it was the bell my dogs ring when they want to come inside. However, it was a BAD idea because unlike my dogs, those evil chicks rang the bell every 5 minutes to the point I finally removed the bell from my door.

Nellie you get the prize ! The next Sun Conure baby that my crew hatches . You must promise to teach it to ask, "What time is it ?" After that I'll send the men in the white coats to collect you !

Bama,
You know I am not into blues because it would mean more cages. I had a trio I sold about 2 years at an auction where Rev Romig was the auctioneer. The fellow bought them after a lot of competition and this past Jan he won Best English at the Pa farm show with the male. This was a bird from your line and Joy's line. Both of your lines seem to be impressive at the shows.

That blue rooster just glows with health
