The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

One of my black girls has started laying now. I can hardly wait for them all to be laying, and then I will pen them. For now I just have the girls in the Layers coop.

I have a few pullets laying now too.

My birds are molting so badly, that it looks like a predator has attcked the flock. Feathers everywhere!

Have you seen that contest Nifty is having over on the "Online Poultry Shows," forum, for the worst molts? You can win a GFM in that contest!

Very pretty, Paul. I think those Lemon Cuckoos have such pretty coloring. Do you have pictures of adults you can show us?

Tell me why my week old Joy babies, who are huge BTW, are all huddled in the corner while my day old APA standard BBS orps (who are not gonna be small birds either) are running all over the brooder cheeping and having a field day!! It's kids funny!! Their nice quiet brroder is being terrorized by a bunch of babies!! I'll post pics soon!!
