Mine will be 5 months old on the 23rd. One of my blues starting laying 2 days ago. I have another one that has started squatting, so looking for her to start sometime next week. Pullet eggs are so cute!

I don't remember when mine started showing saddle feathers. I had 4 chicks that were way slower to feather than my other 4. Of those 4 to slow feather, 3 of them ended up being cockerels. About what age did ya'll pullets start laying? The breeder I got mine from, said her's usually lay around...

My English BBS Orps are getting bigger. This is them at 3 1/2 months old. This is one of my 2 cockerels. Both of them are splash. This one shows the most color.

Mine are 3 1/2 months old, so I can't help with the laying, but my boys starting crowing around 3 mos. They started harassing the pullets a few days later, so they got put in with my older hens. They behave a lot better now. I had a hatchery Buff I got last year, and she has never laid.

He/she is very pretty! Is that the only English Orp you have? My English Orps are only 3 months old now, but I would say you have a roo. The comb/wattle on yours are bigger and redder than on my hens. Your's also has the longer, curved tail feathers that lead me to think it is a roo. But I'm...

Love, love love this color!!!

I have 8 English BBS Orps. Four of them feathered very fast, and the others were really slow to feather. I banded them to see how they turn out. Four of the slow to feather chicks I'm pretty sure are roos. They also have really big feet. I was the same way! It seems the older my splash get, the...

Thanks! That gives me something to aim for.

Thanks! I really like them so far. Yes, some are chunkier than others, lol. They sure have a lot of feathers that's for sure! Question for anyone. I'm working on an adult pen for the babies. I need to know what size did ya'll make the pop door for your English Orps? Since mine are still...

These are my most current pics. Took them a little while ago when I went to lock everyone up. They were 7 weeks old yesterday. These are the 2 Splash's that I believe are roos. The one on the left is bigger all over. This is my smaller splash "roo" and the blue who I believe is...

My BBS babies are descended from your flock, or so I've been told. :)

I hope not!! My babies are only 6 weeks old today. I still have a lot to learn!! I agree!

From what I understand, if you put a chocolate roo over a splash hen you will have blue males split to chocolate and mauve females. The chicks will be auto sexing this way? At least it seems that way to me.

What color where the parents?

I finally got my English Blue Orps last week. I have 3 Blues and 5 Splash. This is Ranger. He/she is my darkest one. I have two that are a little lighter and one that is really a pale blue, will probably be a darker splash. They are 3 days old in these pics. They are a lot calmer...
