    So sorry about your little serama!:( I have introduced birds by putting my younger birds in a pen that I’ve got within the coop, all the chickens can see them and once I let them out they usually get along pretty well

    Many say it’s good luck lol, but I think I may have a curse:lau It took me 3 years to successfully hatch a splash cockerel! I don’t keep everything I hatch, but after the 2nd year of having only pullets growing out. I was a bit worried, I didn’t purposely keep pullets lol, I kept the ones I...

    Thank you!:) I hatched them, I kept back these juvies and sold the parents. The hens didn’t have great type, and the cock had amazing type. They’re all siblings, so I may get an unrelated cock.

    Just thought I’d share!:) jubilee Orpington juvies The cockerel has WAY too many points on his comb! They do need a lot of work from what I can see, but hopefully they turn out decent looking once they’re full grown

    Blue Orpington pullet that I’m really excited to see once she’s fully mature:) Her mom was an American black Orp, and her daddy is a splash Eng orp. she’s still VERY young, but I’m hoping that she turns out to be a great hen!:)

    Silver partridge Orpington?

    I wasn’t 100% sure:) that’s what I had red a few years ago when some breeders were in the beginning stages of silver partridge. I don’t know much about silver partridge though, and my knowledge on partridge is minimal

    Silver partridge Orpington?

    Hey there! I’ve seen birds like the cock on the right referred to as “red split to silver”. He would produce both silver and red partridge pullets, and I think should produce red, silver and silver with red cockerels.

    English Orpington breeding.

    Definitely watch for yellow legs, crow beak, wrong color eyes, no more than 5 points on comb, crooked keel, crooked toes, leakage, etc.:)

    @CCUK those are bantam :)they’re beautiful!! @ColtHandorf Is the black pullet you have from the same breeder? Hens hide leakage, so even if you try to breed it out by crossing back to the mom it can actually make the next generation have heavier leakage. Definitely if you successfully hatch...

    @ColtHandorf I recommend not breeding a black from bbs breeding to lavender. Sometimes the “blacks” can actually just be VERY dark blues, and you definitely never want to mix blues with lavenders. I know a few great breeders who have got lavenders, pure blacks and black split to lavender that I...

    Would Orpington Breeders Weigh In, Please?

    @ColtHandorf , what I mean by that is the American standard is much closer to how William Cook intended for the breed to look, leggy birds, but not as leggy as utility(hatchery) birds. if you look for photos of the Orpingtons that were shown by Mr. Cook it’s very noticeable that the American...

    I attempted to snatch some photos of the lavenders lol! Not great pics, but oh well! I can’t wait for them to be breeding age!:) I plan to start hatching their eggs once they’re about 15-18 months of age

    Would Orpington Breeders Weigh In, Please?

    Yes, American orps are considered heritage All 3 “types” are considered dual purpose, they’re meant to be meat birds and egg layers. My silver laced orps actually lay quite well, almost daily! Working with laced birds is difficult, MANY culls will have to be sorted through to try and pick the...

    Would Orpington Breeders Weigh In, Please?

    I know quite a few breeders with stunning birds!! If you’re interested you can pm me on what varieties you’re looking for and I can send you their way!:) Good breeders don’t sell birds to make money, they sell birds to people who WANT to continue working on perfecting the breed:) I raise a few...
