Our Littlebuckers
« on: January 23, 2013, 10:32:06 am »

A couple of our many breeding boys. Our Cuckoo Maran "Big Boy" and our Black LF Orpington boy "Jzee" Just starting to get breeding pens sorted out for the next breeding and hatching season. We hope to have all the incubators switched on soon. We also have a lovely RIR set  the Cock was sent over from Ireland he is stunning and has done well at shows.  We are really looking forward to seing his offspring. Other breeds that we have are Silkies various sizes and colours, Sablepoots lemon and citrus ( I just love these very friendly and stunning wee chooks), Pekins of various colours, Cochins (have girls but looking for a cockeral) Scots greys and dumpys, Chocolate orpingtons, lavender Cuckoo Orpingtons, Blue Orpingtons, and Buff. all of our Orps are LF. Indian Game. Copper Blue and black Marans. Lots more but dont want to bore you all.
Looking forward to hatching again soon.

You have some good looking boys there. :trophy:   :thumbsup:
Luckily you didn't List the two breeds of chicken that I REALLY want, because I can't have them at the moment anyway :'(
 Good luck with your very hectic breeding season  :fc: .

One day. Unfortunately not in the foreseeable future  :'( .
I would like some:
Dutch Bantams 1 boy 3 or 4 girls,
Jersey Giants 3 (maybe 4 :eyelashes: ) girls only
Finally , I'd love some more Japanese Quail 10 girls only (maybe 12)


Bit of an odd selection I know.  They will not be living together before anyone thinks I'm completely off my rocker  :-J .
 To be honest I can't see any of it happening in the next 12 months. Distance will also be a bit of a problem.
But if you do know of any please keep me in mind for the future. Because come hell or high water I will have my chickens again and more (see list above  :thumbsup: )

Do you do hatching eggs too? I'd love some blue and black LF orpingtons but you're completely the opposite end of the country. All a bit hypothetical since I've got a closed flock for another five months but I'm planning ahead.....

Hi Hester, Yes we will be doing hatching eggs. I could reccomend some excellent breeders closer to you though.  ;)

Hi Maddie, We dont have any youngstock Orps at the moment. Other than a very nice buff Cockerel we were keeping him for our breeding stock but we have to many.  I am incubating orps at the moment.  :)
