Due to some health issues, I have had to let all my birds go to New homes until further notice. I want to thank Conner for taking over my white orpington breeding program and Heather for taking over my lavender and black orpington breeding program. It was not easy to make this decision and I know if I want to start up breeding again I know I will be able to get some of my birds back. One of the things I'm going to miss is all the great people that I have met over these last few years and the outstanding customers that I have had over the years. At this time all birds, chicks and chicks that hatch next weekend are spoken for. Until next time, take care of yourself.

First lock down of the 2026 season. This could be a fun year. Lots of white orpingtons, a few lavender and black but the boys were young. Also a couple from my chocolate project pen. The chocolate girls will not lay in their box only on the floor so the eggs get cold. Next group goes into lock down next Sunday.

Good afternoon friends how is everyone? I just find it incredibly satisfying to look outside and see a flock of white orpingtons in my yard. It took me over four years to just find one and now after two years I have a flock that I'm getting ready to do a hatch out of their fist eggs. For our American friends, I'm in Canada and in Canada you cannot find white orpingtons. Hope everybody has a great day.

This is a little color project that I have started. I call it a cappuccino color. Photos do not do justice, I have another chocolate girl that has the colors through her too and a boy too. She is 100% orpington. My one white orpington carried a chocolate line in and this is one of the results. What do you think of the color?.

This is my white orpington line that I have been working on. This is the second generation or F2 generation. Not perfect but it's a start. I'm hoping to take this white orpington line to a few shows next year, If I can get hatchings this fall. These birds are between 5 and 6 months old. I'm hoping the next generation will be able to fix the leg color but I was told it will come with time. The black orpington boy is a cross between white and black, notice the white in his hackles or neck feathers. All crosses of white and black have this. Watching these white birds walk across the yard is incredible.

Meet Snow Man. He is a white Orpington. He is only 4 months old and getting huge. Im so happy with the second generation of white orpingtons, I keep back the best 4 pullets to breed back to him. I do need to work on leg color and size. Next year I'll breed the white girls back to the best black orpington I can find. I have a show quality black orpington on order for October.

Good morning.
I have lots of good breading quality roosters ready to go to their new homes. I have one beautiful Buff Orpington boy, pure black and lavender orpington boys too. Out of my project pen I have white Orpingtons, the rest of the boys would be great for back yard pets or can be raised for the freezer. I don't charge for the roosters if they can in prove your flock that works for me. I will have pullets coming soon too but I have to contact a few people to see if they are still interested. Will have white, black, lavender and chocolate Orpington pullets ages 2 to 4 months old. Pickup only this time in West New Annan NS

Afternoon everyone.
What an exciting morning it's been today. The ground has been broken for the chicken Palace. The guys showed up this morning at 6:30 am. When I can I'll take videos and share a photo of what the barn is going to look like. The barn is going to be 40x32 with a hatching room and a brooder room with a small room for selling birds chicks and odds and ends.
