My blue Orps are way too camera shy. I can't get a picture of them to share. Your's are beauties.

I got some pics this AM. Meet the Orps. They are 9 weeks.

Sire, my splash roo.

Lacey, a pullet

Velvet, a pullet.

The 3 dark chicks are these guys.

That first picture does not look like a splash. Is it labled wrong?


These are splash orps in the foreground.

So are your going to breed the sheep and milk them or are you going to keep the ewe lambs and raise them to be more tame then their mothers and slaughter the mothers and father (mutton is under rated)

Breed the sheep and hope for ewe lambs. Send the boy to market int he next few weeks.

Mutton is too strong for me to eat. I prefer lamb.

Oh goody!!! Now I know what my babies will look like when they're grown.

I think I'm going to like these just as much as the Dorkings!

Just beautiful, Angie... beautiful.

And the orpxlb mix... OMG, what a pretty cross. I will have to hatch a few of those!

My favorite is the picture of the Orpingtons with the caption that says "Some from Jody."

Is that a cockeral in the front? He is very handsome to me. Very pleasing to my eyes.
