Orpington Club (North America): Here is a forum with egg swaps, etc., but it looks like it might be old, so I am not sure if it is of use. https://americanorpington.proboards.com You can look up (your state or closest city) Poultry Swaps, & online egg auctions as well. I can't vouch for what link are below as I only found…
Just some cute for the day Was at a pet shop to buy a chameleon for my daughter and came across these cuties.
Can you imagine the chaos this would cause in the poultry community? It would affect us up here too as some breeders import Greenfire Farms imports and buy from others south of here (in normal years of course). I can't imagine it going through.…
I have written about this poor chicken before. She seemed to have recovered ok but still preferred to hide all day in the hay and come out to feed after the others either go out to free range or after they roosted for the night.

We think maybe the rubbery texture will go away in the spring when they start eating grass. We'll have to see. Any thoughts? Thank you!
We are trying to decide if we should buy a cabinet style incubator or just let the hens hatch naturally. First we are about 100 miles North of Anchorage, Alaska. I remember the incubator my parents had was made with wire trays. My mother would go roll the eggs by hand a couple times a day. When it was hatch time the chicks…
