Title: Broody Orpington - hatching eggs required, Carnoustie
Post by: Rosemary on August 06, 2012, 04:01:16 pm

Says it all in the title. Ruby, the Black Orpington, is broody and I'd like some eggs for her. Black Orpington would be great but any pure breed would be just dandy  :chook:

Thanks in anticipation! :chook:

Hi we have a big black Orpington lad running with a white and a blue orpington. Also a pen of buffs. I have lots of spare eggs if you are interested.

Thanks for this but I ordered some from ebay  ::) mostly because I'm going away this wek and want it sorted, not because I have a record of good hatches from ebay  :(

No Problem Rosemary, Hope it goes well. I have had very mixed results from eBay in the past. Not always bad but hey ho you win some and you loose some.  :chook:
