The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

That is wonderful news Julie! Although I must say I am not too surprised. You have absolutely gorgeous birds

. Speaking of Imogene I have two youngsters that are from hatching eggs she sent me. Again congrats you should be very proud of what all your hard work has done for the Orpington here in the US!!!!

BLaBauve, what breed is the black chicken in your second photo?

Jeremy,

The black pullet is an Olive Egger from Wynette - I think she's a scary looking beast!

Georgia was hit with a freak snow/ice storm last night. We got over 6 inches of snow and now freezing rain - very rare for Georgia. This was the first time my girls have seen this much snow and I forced a few of them out into it - they were NOT happy!

Beth - They do NOT look happy !! LOL. Might won't go on the snow for anything. We had snow on Christmas. After a lot of it had melted off, I let my chickens out to free range. Winston, Clementine & Minerva had managed to make their way around to the other side of the barn and couldn't figure out how to get back without stepping on the snow - which they absolutely would NOT do. My husband had to pick them up and carry them one at a time back around to where there was no snow.

I love the 2nd and 3rd picture of your little blue girl. She has a very sweet little face.

Joy and all, wanted you to see this boy. He was a hatch from my lines this past year. I thought he was a fabulous Cock.
I may have to borrow him later this year and hatch some from him if the Wilkies will let me.

Wow - Julie - he is a beauty !! I can't wait to see how Sirius turns out. If he turns out that good, he and The O's should make some "to die for" babies !!

Hey - did you ever find out how many birds total were in the English class? I'm dying to know how many birds Taylor actually beat out for the "Champion" title?
