The BANTAM ORPINGTON Thread

[HenThymes]

Here's a couple of pictures of my project cockerels (F2's), the pullets from this group just started laying, should be interesting to see what the next generation shows.

What is your project goal? I would love to eventually see Blue Breasted Red Bantam Orp

Well, I love the looks of the first one color-tones and body type. The second one is too brassy for my eye unless it is the camera shot and not type-y enough.

I hope to have some eggs of the first cockerel and a blue laced hen in the bator the beginning of the year. It's full at the moment with cuckoo marans and blue/black bantam orps and will be completely preoccupied with black bantams from the 15th till the beginning of the year. I think I need a bigger bator!!

Today I have two of the more adorable bantam orp chicks in the brooder!

I ended up with one gorgeous blue and a black. Waiting for them to fluff a bit more and I will post some pictures!

The incubator is already reloaded today with more blue and black bantam orps.

Very cute! I can't wait for my girls to start laying. They are 6 months old, but it has been cold so I guess that has effected their starting. I was given a rooster so this Spring we should have some chicks!

So lets see some pictures of these cuties!!

Yes I have a pullet that is over 6 months old now and still hasn't started laying, then again I have a serama pullet doing the same thing and my now 8 month old LF black orpingtons haven't started to lay yet either.

Is there any possible way that something jumped the fence for that one? I have had some blacks both in Bantam and Large Fowl that have yellow tips when born but 1 - never that much yellow and 2 - no legs ever that color. One thing about chicks though...no matter what, they are still adorable. Here is an off topic pic I just loaded this morning....
