Regardless of what blood or how much of that blood the bird carries ALL LF (large fowl) orpingtons are in the ENGLISH catagory at a show. ALL Bantam orps are in SCCL bantam catagory (single comb clean legged).
and I have seen others enter birds into that English class with Orpingtons...

To my understanding UK bantams bigger body size than US bantams?? Would be great to see the two of them side by side, pictures can be sooo deceiving.
I hope I dont get anyone upset or yelled at...but if you are someone who enjoys showing you would have to cross them on American Black...

That is my favorite color also. However, the judges will write "too light" I've seen it happen a lot I understand. Blue feathers are all to be "outlined" by a darker blue. I still cannot help but love the color though. I have one Standard Cochin almost that exact color...maybe...
I'm so sorry knowing you guys are going through these hard times. I am happy to say that my preppy, jock, weight lifting, 14 year old son, mows lawns, helps haul stuff, and puts up hay for people in our community. I know he's rare, that's why I love him so. Sometimes for money but sometimes...
. I'm sorry you lost Julie. I too force some of my birds (silkies usually) to get wet. When they are panting non stop they get the shower option on my garden hose. They don't like it, but they do stop panting.
