What is it with Orps lately ?
I just sold a few and the woman wanted more~
my 6 orps are from her -
omg, my girls are GORGEOUS! i have 2 blue, 2 black and 2 white... now i just need 2 buffs and my lil flock will be complete!
i will have to post some pics of them! right now 3 of my girls are sitting on more eggs from her - mostly blacks i think, but maybe a white or two and the possibility of a splash. oh yeah! i forgot - i need 2 buffs AND 2 splashes. i had a splash when i got my first batch of straight run peeps from her, but OF COURSE he crowed. he now runs the show in a lovely flock up in granite falls.
orps orps orps, love my orps..... but i would love a welsummer. and a speckled sussex. and an ameraucana. aaaaaand some ducks. aaaaaaaaaand...... okay, i'll stop.

one of my favorites out there is a blue orpington. She is so sweet... and a good brooder and mommy. She's so soft too. I love my Gilly
I now have a buff orp out there also, but only about 2 1/2 months old at this point. She was a birthday present for my 5-year-old, whose favorite color is yellow. He carries her all over the place...
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I remember you speaking highly of and professing your love for the infamous Gilly.
Perphaps some day we can all see a pic of her ?
The Orp link above had blues.
I am still hunting for RIW's !!!!!!!!!!! They are like GONE.
I am seriously considering starting from scratch to breed my own strain...but gosh that can take years.
So, anyone have white wyandottes or rose comb white leghorns ?
well, here are some pics I have of her, although not the best pics

Lilrabbit was asking where they could find some more Orps...maybe get together ?
I have plenty of Buffs and no I am on a mission for all the other Orpingtons out there. I got some eggs from hinkjc and I put them in the bator this morning, now I can't wait for them to hatch. I guess you could say that I'm Orp Obsessed...
alright the rest of you will have to carry on without me, it is bed time for me!
Had to chase keets all over tarnation to get them in the coop~~~ they are the strangest little babies.
Night all !
Who was it that was or is looking for, I think it was Rhode Island Whites??? Was it Chickielady. Are you(they) looking for eggs or chicks or both? I just wanted to know that way if and when I come across them I can let you know. Sometimes I see them on Craigslist in my area.
