The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[deek]

 I have 4lb leghorns who lay my largest eggs. I have no idea how they do that.
Beautiful egg.

Poor little leghorns. Just goes to show you what one can breed towards.

I have two English Orps, one has started laying. She is laying "practice" eggs- very small but they are dark brown. I have a Buff Orpington that has always laid a creamy brown egg. Are there differences in the eggs of each breed of orp?

Too funny Walt! Lazy thieves with a good eye.

Julie my watermark program takes seconds. I'll PM you the one I have when I return home. Once they been posted without a watermark they are on the net "to infinity and beyond...".

Delilah, X 2! When I am not home I check in and look at the pictures. Comfort food.

OK Grasshopper, send me that one too please.

One of my girls is giving me really big eggs. I know this is the norm for some of you, but a very recent happening for me. This is from one of my hens, Claudia, from last year's generation. Poor baby. That has to hurt.

These are the eggs you hatch !

each egg is different even in the same variety. I have 12 egg layers and I know who layed what egg by color and shape.

Went to the KY state fair today. Man,most of the birds looked rough. Guess it was the stress of all those people. Any how, these two ladies caught my eye. No idea who they belong to.

The fair shows can be pretty rough on the birds...way too long for me..fun to go see but the APA shows have the good stuff....some people dont even try, just grab a bird out of the back yard and throw it in the fair....but some of the people and kids go all out and the birds are used to be handled clean and nice ect.

 

[Kiniska]

That is good to know. I told my husband if that is what you can expect at a show I will never take my birds. Perhaps I should go to an APA show just to see what it is all about.
