We have Blue and Black English style Orps. We started with 4 chicks we got from a local breeder here who got her stock from Julie / Bamachicken here on BYC. These birds were hatched in late August 2010 and we ended up with one black rooster, 2 black hens and 1 blue hen. We have since added a trio of blue's to our flock that we hatched out in the summer of 2011. So now we have a total of 2 black hens, 3 blue hens and one blue cockerel and one black cock. We plan to pen the blue cockerel with his mom later this winter in an effor to hatch some splash.
