    Well one good thing you can always eat your culls,lol Actually I sell them to other breeders or if they are really bad I sell them to a guy that eats them. The SOP book explains the process for admitting new colors (I should read it again). As for photos I suck at it so you better wait until...

    That is a very loaded question. I seen one of the dumpiest looking jubilee orp go for 150.00 that I would not pay 10.00 for and seen great english birds given to me. Personally I prefer eggs you may pay the same for 6 eggs you would pay for a bird but with eggs you have a chance at getting a...

    I read once from a book by E.F. Hutt a geneticist that knows way more than I do and he said he culls (kills) all sneezers, snifflers and coughers. Killing is responsible and part of good husbandry. If this were practiced religously it would greatly reduce disease. Cured carriers are the worst.

    One thing I have noticed about the English orps is they look alot like cochins without feathered legs. Is this due to the English standard or are they just crossing them back to cochins to get all the feathers on a bird that originally never had as much plumage? The real old orpington...

    Hi, I am new to orpingtons but have had other breeds for many years and thought I would try to get some information here about the jubilee pattern.

    Or worse like not culling the ones that should be culled and breeding back all that you hatched from your 6 egg purchse. I am really leary anymore about ads that put the lineage in the first few words. Quote:
