Wow!

These are lush!! How old are they?

Thanks all! Well I'm rather hoping to have a Porcelain outcome, although one never knows what you'll end up with! I'm glad you like my cockerel, I had a rather lucky bargain there with him and his wife. I saw them advertised as 'two young speckled orpingtons' - I googled and couldn't come up...

Phew! Taken me ages to read through this thread! I will have to get some decent pictures of all my Orps when the snow goes and post them. What superb specimens you all have! One to start me off... taken from my phone so the colouration doesn't look as it should! It was getting dark so he...
