Yes, I guess they are only part English. Will have to get a nice English boy for them.

Thanks. They are only 5 months old (20 weeks) maybe I need to wait while to see how they grow.

Thanks aveca and deek. They are fluffy. Anyone else have any comments on these girls. If they aren't "English" enough, let me know that at least. I just want to know more about my girls so I know how to proceed. I'm thick skinned so don't worry about that. I just want to know if they are worth...

20 weeks old pullets. I have a splash and blue that I think are nice, but not sure. Please let me know what you think. I'm not a breeder just an admirer and would like to know what I have. How is the lacing on the blue pullet? I have thick skin so tell me what you think.

I have one girl with ok lacing and a really pretty splash, but I'm not sure how English they are. I'll put some photos up tomorrow or so. Would love to know what you think. You=anyone who wants.

I'm sorry. that's horrible. poor things.

Beautiful birds. You can share photos of them at any time. We love photos! The Buff Columbians are wonderful!

I had a cat name Squishy that looked just like that. Beautiful chicks too.

By 3 months old you should see a much bigger comb and wattle. My girls are 17 weeks old and look the same.

I spent the first 3 months trying to sex my chicks. It was really difficult. Of course, the reason I had such a hard time was because I have 4 pullets! I think in a few weeks you will see a difference in comb/wattle color and size if you have a male. Until then, I would say females.

so how does the chocolate gene work? similar to blue but with out the splash? if you have a choc bantam and you breed it to a large black you will get half black half choc?

Pretty. I wonder if you bred your mixed girls to a blue you might get some like this?

I kind of like the color. What if you breed these pullets to a splash? might be interesting. Was the chocolate a LF? i'm wondering if you were trying to get a large choc and that's why you bred them. Just curious what your project goals were. I can't wait to start my own project colors. Thanks...

Thanks for the good explaination! That makes a lot of sense

Question: if you breed a splash to any other color will you always get blue, so long as the other color didn't carry a blue gene too? So splash to black gives you blue 100% of the time. If I bred a white to splash would I get blue? Just wondering about how the blue gene works. I was reading...

Jeremey, There are lots of nice places here in VA for eng orp lovers... :D

Wow that Liam is sure interesting. You thought him a boy early. I hope he is a great breeder for you. Glad you are keeping us posted on his development. It's nice to see for us novice. You know, I started wanting orpingtons because I thought I would get a good broody large fowl. But now I got...

Jeremy, is that black in your second picture? Why is the fluff so light? Mom looks like a nice girl.

I love that last photo. His head looks huge. So cute at this age. I had the hardest time sexing my 4 chicks, it ends up they are all girls!!! I think you have girl, boy, boy.

:lau I have a splash and she is not my favorite either, (but she might be;) good luck. hope SHE grows up big and healthy.
