Bird of the Day: the Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington

I NEED THIS CHICKEN SO BAD!!!!!!

Unfortunately, they have not been imported into the US yet apparently.

The world of chickens seems to be much brighter across the big water.  Dang, Europeans are classy!  Anyone who makes a hobby out of cultivating new and glamorous varieties of chickens is made of PURE CLASS!!

Check out http://www.keiths-orps.co.uk/ to ogle over an enormous amount of rare orpington varieties...and to realize you cannot get them here.  :( :( :(

I hope someone somewhere is doing something about this.  Megan, we may have a project on our hands.
