That stance has "boy" written all over it, too.

I was told once that when more people show off colors for non-SOP titles, it can help down the road when the attempts are made to get that color recognized. I've never shown, myself, so I can't speak for it personally.

I have a couple of big gorgeous orp girls, but I'm concerned about the possibility of having cochin mixed into them in order to give them more fluff and size. How would I tell if they had cochin in them?

Skeksis! Hahahahahaha!!!! I can picture that!

I have some English (maybe) orps that should be reaching pullet-hood soon. What's the best way to determine if these are pullets or roos? None of them have crowed yet, and they're about the size of my other LF chickens now.

We were discussing the aggression in another thread and several noted that aggression seemed to pass through the hen. Even when the chicks are hatched and raised by another hen the offspring tends to follow the biological mother's temperament.

Wow, he really is gorgeous.

How large are the chicks in comparison to standard sized LF? Does anybody know at what point I can say "That is definitely going to be a great honking big bird."

Here they are. It was a hatch that was supposed to be blue and red English Orps and some Isbars. I've wanted English and will be happy with any color, but I REALLY love blue plumage. The right shades of blue make me think of chicken film noir.

Thank you. I bought ten eggs from a local auction that were supposed to be English Orps, blue and red. Five hatched, but I'm thinking maybe I got a barnyard mix, instead. At this point I'm not even sure they're orpingtons, and definitely not sure they're English. No way should a chipmunk have...

Can anybody please advise if there's a type of Orpington that has the chipmunk pattern on hatching?
