2 new buff orpingtons
« on: May 31, 2011, 08:00 »
We got 2 new off heat buff orpingtons yesterday to keep my 2 8 week old girls company. They are a beautiful colour. Hopefully they are girls, the breeder chose ones he thought were, comparing to the others that he had. Must admit they do look girly but apparently it can take a while for orp boys to show themselves.  He will take a boy back if necessary, so fingers crossed. It was an educational experience going to his site, my 8 year old as well as us were really thrilled to see day olds with mum, broodies on eggs.
Our original girls seemed really spooked at the new arrivals, now we keep finding them snuggled up to the wire of the newbies run.
Hubby has taken the camera to work so will post my pics later.

Buffy's are very pretty!  Hope they are both girls gracie, but it is nice when breeders say they will exchange if any are boys!
