We have the Orpington thread, the English Orpington thread, the Lavender Orpington thread so I figured I would see what is out there in the way of Bantam Orpingtons.

I hear a few people talk about them but really don't see many pictures or discussions on them. I would love to hear from fellow bantam orp peeps. I really enjoy mine and actually prefer them to LF orps even though I do own both. Here are a couple of pictures of my black and splash. Have the incubator going with some blues and blacks due on the 14th, looking for some nice stock to show next year.

I hope more will join in on this thread!

Very nice OSUman! I hope to add some buffs down the road. Right now I just have blacks and the one splash rooster. So I put one of black hens with the splash to create some blues and am creating more blacks from my black pen as well. Have a few projects too!

I think down the road I would like to too, expect here in NC we have a pretty red dirt clay, not sure how good it will look on whites.

I have some nice stock but my goal is to make some improvements and show them next year. I have yet to see any shown here.
 
Yea i have white leghorn bantams and I have decided not to let them outside in the mud because they got all dirty on their back from the rooster. I keep them on shavings which works fine as long as they cant get to any dirt underneath the shavings LOL. Where did you get yours from?
 
I have blues and blacks. Only black boys so no hope of splash chicks. One of my boys has won BB several times. A blue pullet of mine won RB this year. After the first of the year, I will join the UOC as I show both bantam and LF. Hopefully, I will be able to really add to my #'s next year. They are clearly my favorite!

How did I get WHITE chicks from a blue rooster and blue/black/splash/cuckoo hens? And what will happen if I breed the white back to the blue roo?
