The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

I had a cat name Squishy that looked just like that. Beautiful chicks too.

If everyone complains enough to the post office - gee, maybe they will just totally quit shipping for us at all.

Exactly. They are looking for ways to cut costs and are closing facilities. All they need is shipping birds and eggs to become more of a nuisance than it already is for them to terminate that service. They don't have to ship birds or eggs folks..

While I await to hear what gloom awaits in the shadows from rockinpaints....I went to check on the babies. First a disclaimer...it was 100 degrees and the fan was blowing! So his feathers are a mess. Also, I'm a newbie and must have put too much DE in the sand because we all come out looking like we bathed in white chalk. So...their legs look white and not their slightly slate color.

OK, here is bachelor number 1...affectionately known as left yellow since I'm not naming the boys. He is five weeks old...

Here's his good side.


Here he sees our new bunny that appears in the shade garden 30 ft away.




This one just so you can see his emerald eyes.


Although this is suppose to be their ugly stage...mama hen here thinks he's adorable.

Pickeldchicken, that first picture scared me to death. Those sweet babies. He's sees his chicken nugget meal.

Thank You rockinpaints I'm still a newbie but I have some Barnevelders, Cuckoo Marans, and these little guys a total of 34 chickens....I only wanted 10 to start with...10 chickens plus 0 chickens = 34 chickens. Before this experience I would have had to say well a chicken is a chicken but I can clearly see a difference in personalty in the Orpingtons. I want more Orps

Deek that's a good looking little bird you got. Don't worry about Uno that cat couldn't kill a butterfly she wanted to sniff some fuzzy chicken butt

I put the surviving eggs into the incubator tonight. It'll be quite the miracle, but I'm hoping some will hatch

My husband picked up three EE chicks to keep the chocolate company. Seems they took to each other immediately (see if you can find the yellow/chocolate butt beneath the new babies).
