Some updated pictures of my chicks that I got from Julie last week. They are 10 days old already! Amazing how fast time goes by! They are growing like weeds. I love watching them and playing with them. I just moved them to a bigger brooder and they are enjoying the extra room, to jump and test those wings. Not the best quality pics but you get the idea. Enjoy them!

This one was really mad....I think he was telling me off

I have never done business with them...I just "save" all sites I see with English Orpingtons to look into. This morning I'm actually skipping church to make a dish to pass for the church potluck and was checking various sites to see who...if any , sold English Orpington (100%) eggs. So I clicked on that "site" and there was a big announcement.
It appears that to get 100% English you need to buy chicks or pairs..which would be fine but I just invested in a Brinsea Advance Ex and two new coops to add to my old one, and eggs from Wynette, Maria Hall and Renie Peeps AND fencing to add more runs and the topper was a 16 ft. travel trailer to convert into a mobile coop. SO....English chicks will have to be NEXT spring. (I can hear DH asking...why are you ordering chicks when you have a new incubator??)

Joy...I need to take some pictures of the four I hatched out......they just turned two weeks and are growing like weeds. I can never get decent chick pictures, but maybe I'll give it a go. I gave the 3 bantams I hatched out at the same time away to a friends granddaughter since I didn't want to set up another brooder for them and I knew they'd very quickly be overwhelmed by the orps and wyandottes.

Katy - Please do take pictures. Would love to see them !! I'm going to try to take some pictures today of the GL and the new ones I just hatched.
