The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[HenThymes]

Joy - I know their not Imported but I thought I would share a few pictures of my two four week old bantams with you. They are probably right now the size of what winstons kids hatch!

Loving the look of the blue, can't wait for it to get a bit bigger and more filled out, and hoping those are not little boy wattles.

Julie - you can't post something like that and not share....

I'm starting to feel the pull of the hatching bug too, Joy...

I've got some chicks arriving by mail around mid March. I keep browsing the auctions to see what I could put in my incubator in Febuary, so that the hatch coincides with the chick delivery!

LOL.

I just can't get any darned eggs. My girls are giving me a whopping 1 eggs like every 3 days !!

I have my incubator ready to go, just nothing to put in it. I talked to the girls this morning about it, they just clucked and turned their tails up at me and walked off. I'm quite sure they did not pay attention to a single word that I said !!

My babies are getting so big.

Today my daughter took her friend down behind the coop to sleigh ride and Roo decided to puff up and CROW! Well, it went on for as long as a crow should, and his neck was all stretched up like it should be, but that's where the similarities end... He was so proud he just had to strut around on his big, long, teenager-looking legs.

I sure do love these guys.

Several pages ago daytonfarm posted pics and people were asking about her waterers. I made some to except I put the nipple in the cap and added a hole through the other end. I threaded a rope through the hole and have mine hanging bottom side up.

 

[Renie'sPeeps]

Then how are you filling them without dumping water on yourself?? Did you removed the whole bottom and make holes through the sides??
