Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Chickielady]

View attachment 1268022 Our beloved "SKIP' Grandfather to many, a perfect example of what A TRUE Silver Laced Orpington should look like, Very Large, very docile and sweet. loves to be held, and is very much spoiled! he spends his days outside among his flock of hens and also loves laying in laps. A very special friend, we are hoping this wonderful loving way passes down to his many offsprings.

Thank you,
Autumn Farm Orpingtons, USA

He is awesome ! I have always loved the English Orps and LF Cochins...............but my clay mud did not do any good for them but made dingle balls...........sadly I had to sell my LF Cochins. I love the English Orps, the way an Orp is supposed to look insyead of how the USA battered the breed, keep up the good work KidCody !

Locked silkies in their houses. Stuffed the three black cockerels in the house with the partridge boys and shut it up. A dozen is much better than three, they just had been sleeping in a separate house in the same pen so no fighting.

Dug out in front of the door for the large fowl. Havent shut that thing in over a year. Forced the large fowl hens to all huddle closer on the roosts. Shut them in too.

Even the poofball disguised as a cat came in. He yelled and yelled until I let him out again this afternoon.

The other one spent maybe 15 minutes outside on the step this morning and that was enough snow for her. She's been on the bed all day.
