Orpington Colors!

[BobletFarmBirds]

Hey all! Curious on finding out the most funky colored orps you have/have seen. I’m putting together a fun flock of English /English type orps. So far I’m obsessed with chocolate mottled wheaten, blue buff columbian, all the mottled birds, lemon cuckoo… show me what else you’ve seen that isn’t your regular color!

If you can get birds from Anita Heatherly at Fawn Spring Farms, she has some beautiful varieties.

Mine are listed in my signature.

Does she ship hatching eggs?

She does. She will also sell chicks if you're close enough for a drive. When I looked at her Bantam Orps, they were $120 a dozen.

I have Lavender and Buff Orpington mix and the roosters are beautiful! They've got every color in them minus pink! I also like the English Gold Laced and Silver Laced English Orpington! Oh, and I love Jubilee Orpingtons! Jubilee has to be my favorite!
