Yes, I sold the black orpington chicks to McCoys Orps, they were hatched from your eggs (I only needed the blues). Not sure if Keith's Orps are from a family member of McCoys Orps?

I had high hopes for these chicks to add to my Australorp pen, but the consensus is that 2 of my 3 are in fact cockerels. They are graduating to more forceful sparring so they need a new home. I can deliver to Maury, Lawrence, Wayne, or Giles county.

PM me if interested.

They are in my garage, so pardon the lighting. One of the Aussies is up front next to my bantam Chocolate Orpington cockerel. Aussie is on the right

My sister-in-law also has an Aussie cockerel and two pullets for sale. They are about 2 1/2 months old. One of the pullets lost her tail feathers to picking by older hens.

I got DH a BYC shirt from the girls and me for Fathers. Day. He's wearing it! Does that mean more cheerful pen building???
The new shirts look good; feel good and
don't wrinkle~

Check your facebook messages. This is Leigh Ann and you sold me eggs in February. 10+ BBS that arrived at my house on February 11, and 10+ black split to lavender for my sister-in-law that arrived at my house on February 19th.

Interesting observation......

This actually raises a question that i have wondered about for a while. At what point do you quit saying that your birds are from X breeder? How many generations down the line?
My silkies came from Ferguson. I tell people that my original stock are ferguson birds. When people then buy from me they aren't buying Ferguson birds, they are buying from me. Do they have the right to say they have ferguson stock? If i were Jack Ferguson I would be ****** if someone said that. He doesn't know how i breed and has no control over it. Thus despite my starting with his line they are no longer his line when they leave his farm and I start using them in my breeding program.
What do y'all think?

So apparently I used slang that the censors did not like. Let's say "I would be angry" instead.

I managed to fill in that blank LOL

They are your birds when you make the breeding choices they are yours not the person you got them from. I get people ask me all the time what lines my Marans are..... They are all in there and they are MINE!.
