I also read a "rumor" perhaps, or maybe it's true.. that feeding corn to white orpingtons (and possibly all white birds) creates yellow plumage.
Anyone know if that is true?
added: thanks Jodi. I am keeping some of the ones from Gilman farms and the ones from Sandhill to grow out a while...
I'd have to say that so far they are just inconsistant! I was looking forward to whites, ordered them from everywhere.. have 32 now and 5 more coming, but I have changed my mind.
They don't come out consistantly, they have off colors to their down, sometimes the legs are dark instead of light...
