    Gold Laced Orpington- For Learning and Sharing

    this is the 4th generation. Thank you for the comments. I'm proud of my birds. They've come a long way! IT's cost me a small fortune though growing out birds and culling them. But the results have been worth it. This fall, I"ll be putting them out to show at the first big show at the Dixie...

    I have a bunch of cockerel but I haven't been taking pictures of them because they look so geeky still

    I'm pretty sure you have one pullet in there Brandi G. In the 2nd picture, the one on the left I believe.

    Different lines of gold laced birds may be different. That being said, mine get their tails later than the girls. If anyone is in the St. Louis area, we (Ozark Orpingtons) are releasing our gold laced birds now. When the weather breaks, we can start shipping as we are NPIP certified in Missouri...

    that bird on the left is looking more like a pullet to me. The one with it's head hidden and just it's tail on the right is a cockerel. Their tails develop more slowly

    Brandi G, by fall, you'll be able to tell for sure. Mine have a tendancy to all look the same for quite some time! I've got one 14 week old right now that I just can't figure out. One day it looks cockerel and the next it looks pullet. LOL Post pics, side view and side head shots, maybe we can help

    I can't believe I missed this. It should read, I have 3 hens that I set 21 eggs/week. 2 of them laying 21 eggs a week would be pretty impressive! LMBO

    GLO's get to looking like some wierd things when their feathering out. Very bad pics with the red light, but I'll bet that is not frizzle. Could have possibly been too high of heat in the incubator or hatcher which can cause frazzled feathering but they'll grow out of it and feather in properly...

    English Orpingtons Question

    We raise a lot of English orpingtons. Yes, we have had some that just pass away between 4 months and laying age. Most of the ones we lost were right as they were maturing and they were going to start laying. If they paid $600 for a pair, I'm going to guess they were a pretty rare variety. The...

    I am involved with a group that is working to get the gold laced accepted as a variety with the APA. I have worked to get my chicks to hatch with the cinnamon base coat. Warning: Different lines of gold laced will look different! Almost 90% of my chicks hatch out cinnamon. The cinnamon chicks...
