The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[Margitas]

I see ad 2 years ago someone from GA selling hatching eggs Red orp, Cuckoo, Jubilee ,Choc , gold lace and sold couple i only add to the watch list the red and gold lace.
I know the red go over 1200, and gold lace 100.00 each , so choc is here the us for long time just some how nobody come to sell them.
Black orp with choc gene first i hear 3 years ago or more here the us.
This import birds and breeders make one mistake , they need to come out some pedigre. Register etc.
Is still can work for the new breeds , that way can fallow . Im talking the pure inport breed not project , project can make here too.

I haven't posted in a while due to a injury (broke my neck) would like to thank all the well wishes for a speedy recovery well, I'm still moving slow but doing very well. I wanted to share a photo that was recently taken of my Spangles/Mottles. Marc, they are growing out beautiful and have gone through many color changes and are diffidently on the huge side.

Hello All, so sorry I not been around but with one thing and another I have been so tied up and back and fourth to the hospital that I have now been able to talk to you my friends from across the pond!!!

So glad to hear of the fertility of your eggs Nellie, in fact news got through to me from another source as well as yours. I had a phone call from our David Pownall, the top breeder over here, asking me how I managed to send so many fertile eggs over to you as he heard of your sucess from a dear friend of his. I naturally explained all the ins and outs and he is amazed of how hair raising and stressful it is. He has had eggs sent to him and he has sent eggs out but of course because his are sent without the paperwork, tests etc, for example, the normal post, they will be in the wrong compartment of a plane. As you yourself know, mine are sent over in cargo with live animals so they will not freeze whilst on the plane, plus they arrive after a 9 hour flight!!!

looking through this forum - i see the words come up of star gazing on young chicks, this is a lack of a certain vitamin contained in marmite! put a small drop into a small portion of water and give to the chicks orally and hey presto, all is well again. I also insist in feeding my chicks with medicated chick crumb to give them a good start in life.

I have tried to email you a few times Nellie to see how all was going with the terrible weather over there but as yet, not head from you. I hope all is well with your family and friends over there across the pond.

Love and best wishes, Sandy xxxxx

Greetings Sandy! Unfortunately I never received an email from you since the last one I sent letting you know how the eggs candled???

Email error? Sadly the second shipment of eggs are mostly showing no development as we suspected they might after the flight mishap & chaos. Thrilled about the first batch

, disappointed about the second

.

Take care my friend!

Yes, but unfortunately those birds were all destroyed before they were released into the USA due to illness in the quarantine center, and the transactions were all cancelled. I know as I purchased quite a few........Very sad.
