The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[galanie]

Does anyone know if Hink-JC lavender Orps are English or American Standard?


I'm praying for you guys on the east coast. My whole family is in Ohio.

HinkJC website states that they breed to the American Standard. I remember following their progress on the Lavenders and yes, American standard.

Does anyone on here know of some good quality Lavender or Lavender split English Orp hatching eggs? I contacted Heritage Orpingtons and they don't have any juveniles until spring.

Thanks!

I am exhausted been busting my butt for 2 days trying to get ready for this storm. The wind is blowing and there has been a little rain. Still have power for now even though it has flickered a few times. The chicks, goats, dogs, and geese have been fed and put to bed. Now we wait.

We have gusts up to 50 MPH here in Camden, S.C. with no rain so far, but it is just north of us. Thank goodness I have a standby generator that restores power in 1 minute. I have lots of babies hunkered down in the greenhouse. This also keeps my koi ponds running, so the koi won't run out of oxygen. I get to mooch off the whole thing .Lots of power out here due to fallen trees.More big sustained wind tomorrow.

I spent years hauling water out of a lake to flush toilets, and taking very cold baths with minnows. Never again.

Very glad you're OK. Hurricanes can do some oddball stuff. I remember as a kid, Hurricane Carla hit us in Corpus Christi and there were trees down everywhere in the neighborhood but some boards I'd placed way up in an Ash tree as a sort of tree house, not even fastened down in any way , were still there after the storm. It was an historic storm in many ways, but to me, seeing those loose boards still there was as historic as anything. We had live power lines down in our yard and were unable to leave the house for a day or more. Yet we still had power. No one else did, just us. And phones.
