Morning sunshines!! Happy time change!!
Weather is supposed to cooperate today so I've got a lot of outdoor things I'm going to try to get done!
Morning all!
@Trimurtisan your breeding plan sounds cool! Are you still going to breed the gold laced orpingtons?
Good morning folks, have a great day
Oh darn...we need more chickens to keep up with the egg business!!I think the duck shack should be just about complete today. Our farm builder guy is coming over tomorrow to see about expanding our hardware cloth area around the duck shack and a few other projects that we'd like to have done. Our son's little egg selling business has suddenly taken off with word getting around his school. We now have a waiting list for eggs.So we're going to see about expanding our chicken coop so we can accommodate some more laying hens. If I could get something together before the lake county fair, maybe I can go and purchase a couple of hens to get our order situation under control.
Love it!!!
I loved these!Okay, there is a plan. Y'all know my plans are in a constant state of motion. "They" say when the zombie apocalypse comes its won't be the strong who trudge through. Wont be the smart ones who think of a great plans that make it. It'll be the ones who can adapt to their new circumstances in life who thrive... If that's true I should be pretty good with zombies.
So here's the plan. Stare at this and forget everything else.

Alright, now that I have a frizzle fella, I can't use the frizzle girl. That puts me down to two d'Uccle girls. I'd like to have 4-6 girls for Sir Frizz. I can get more d'Uccle eggs, but not chicks. I actually can't find any bantams locally is even want to use. I want unique features, so Seramas/Silkies/Cochin (females) are a no go.
I've had a chat with the seller and they said their boys top out at 2 lbs, and are full bantam. I guess taking a bantam Polish to a LF Polish is kind of common.Reading descriptions, there where a few people mention "NOT bantam x LF."
They made sure to let me know they bred true for size. So there's that... If I win and hatch frizzle girls, they'll join the bantam flock.
Here's a couple of the sellers pictures...

So pretty! 
Me too. Thre seller had turned out to be verry nice too. I was the only bidder at $22 till the last 6 hours, then a bidding war started...
Ouffh, I don't even want to mention what the bid is right now...
Yesssss! I found a place that has silver laced Orpington chicks, so if we end up expanding the coop, I’m going to get some of those and then wait for your gold laced babies/eggs to come availableYes I will be. They currently are my main goal for the purebred birds.
Do you want a jubilee Eng Orp cockerel? There is someone in the FL thread trying to rehome one. Would go great with your blue jubilee girl.Yesssss!
