I said that we'll just keep taking crutches with us every time we go and we'll get the VIP treatment. LOL.

Daphne - I meant to tell you that our roosts are very, very low because we don't want any hurt legs jumping off the roost. Ours are probably only 3-4 inches off the ground.

I FINALLY got my first Bama pullet egg today, it only took 9-1/2 months!!

It is already as big as my lav orp eggs and they are very large eggs!

Here is a picture of one of my bama girls, lets just say she want not happy about having her picture taken today.

Her sister is the one that laid the egg and I think this girl is right behind her.

Not her best, DH took pic.

That boy is amazing, I almost fell over looking at him. He looks pretty spectacular in front of that green.

CONGRATS on your first egg !!

You're right - she does not look one bit happy at having to "Vogue." LOL.

Paul - he is looking really nice !!

I would LOVE to have a setting of eggs from any of the beautiful Blacks that I have seen posted here. A young man of 10 went to the Ohio Nationals this year hoping to come home with some but there were none there. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I hate to see the young ones disappointed.

Hi DeanDad and welcome to the English Orp thread. Unfortunately, I don't have any blacks right now and none of my girls are laying. I hope to have some later in the spring or summer. Hopefully, somebody else will have some blacks for the 10-year-old little man. Check with Renie - I think she has some birds laying.

Again - welcome !!
