Vivi, Sir Elvis looks very nice.

Just alittle part English so far. I love this gal.

She is gorgeous. English type is just that "type". From what I can see in the pic, she fits the type. Sure it is nice to know they are from pure imported lines. But, even the UK has crappy "English" birds. She has very beautiful feathers and shape. Precious!!!!

Here are a few of my young Large Fowl Chocolates I think I will be keeping.
The rooster pictured is 6 months and the hen is about 7 months.

Nice Bryce. I love your Mottleds also.

I sent you a Pm back. Orpington's do come in white. There is a white Orpington's or a sport which can come from BBS. I have both here. Whites are very pretty birds and several people are currently working with the color.

Young white from BBS Parents

This is a very interesting color. White over slate (black or blue) feet. I can't wait to see her mature. She is gorgeous.
Do you think this is a splash with the omission of blue, since she is from BBS parents?

She is fully grown now, solid white. Blue legs, gonna take her back to my black roo or maybe white roo pondering.

Hi Everyone!

I am in NC, love the thread and all the beautiful pics. I am looking for Buff English Orps, prefer eggs or chicks. They aren't going to be shown, just for my own enjoyment and learning to improve the next generations.
