here are some pics of my Blue,Black and Splash Orps..
these hatched this morning...
Been hatching Baby Orps!
These are few weeks old...
Caught them napping after eating ...lol
They are so pretty. I love Orpingtons. Do the Blue/Black/Splash have the same temperament as the Buff?
Oh boy!!!! They are so soft looking. I would love to rub them in my checks like wittle powder puffs. Okay that sounded creepy...but I really love the feel of the soft fuzz. I luv the colors! They are gorgeous!!!
Ya not the only one!! I do that too..rub them on my face..haha..
I am glad I am not the only one!! hehehe
LOL Sewin.. LOL That didn't sound creepy.. we knew what cheeks you were referring to. LOL I'm sorry.. I couldn't resist.
I like to put them to my face too.. but sometimes it scares them.. Poor lil boo booz.. think I'm gonna eat em!
Good for you Moodene! You've been a super hatcher this year! They are darling!!
LMBO hehehe (the other cheeks)
I am glad to know I did not sound creepy! :}

Hi there Modene: How is Johnathan doing? Keeping him in prayer.
I don't know anything about the OP's I hear they are great sitters? I also heard that Silkies will hatch a rock/ I have a little hen and she won't even sit her own eggs.
Whats wrong with that picture? Tell me a little about your birds, I am always interested. Thanks and Congrats. Haystack
Well my son is at home right now cleaning out my yard..we have been cleaning up so much from when Hurricane Ike roared thru here last year..I have before pics of the storm and will post the new ones while we are cleaning up..you will see the diffrence..He will go back to Iraq on April 3..he decided to surprise me last week to come home and help me with all this yard work..I was so overwhelmed with all this tree limbs stuff and couple down trees. and still waiting for my house to be reroofed and painted..dang insurance keeps delaying but the payment is on the way..But all these baby chicks during the winter kepted me sane..LOL...by the way, I still have more Orps eggs to hatch..hehehehe
Will post info about them later as soon as I get pics
Very pretty colors there. Those will be gorgeous chickies!
I hatched Blue Orps last year and ended up with one beautiful Blue Roo out of 12 eggs. He is absolutely HUGE and has the good looks to back up his size. As for his temperament, I don't much care for him - he's a bully. But that may be because he didn't have any other blue orps to co-mingle with! I recently gave him to a chicken buddy of mine to breed with his Ameraucana hens. He is still hands-down the best looking chicken I ever hatched - except for the BLR's of course! Moodene you are going to love them - best of luck...Scott
Goodness, he is HUGE!
Oh, those babies are so CUTE! Congratulations!
Update pics coming..all hatched out last nite..I have a pair of Blues and a pair of Blacks that dont give me problems at all...lol...
