Jubilee Orpington were bred to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. As an English bird, they are well-suited to our PNW climate and are prolific layers of large pinky-beige eggs. But mostly, they are drop-dead gorgeous balls of fluff. They are laying well right now and I expect to have hatching eggs and chicks available all spring.

I found this guy on my deck behaving oddly — he just let walk up to him and pick him up. We took him to our local wildlife rehab. #redtailedhawk #wildlife #whatcomhumanesociety #whatcomcounty #raptor
