Very nice. You have a great flock there CB!Here is one of my blue breeders. I am having trouble uploading pics at the moment so you will have to be satisfied with these. I will have a go some other time at more pics.
This is another breeder of mine.
This is an exhibition black pullet.
Here are my utility birds. They look quite different but they are pure.
I am surprised at how different they actually look, I was thinking maybe the Show birds will have better feathering and nicer combs or something but they shape of them and just the look is quite different. To me your Exhibition flock have a more rounded carriage, they look like an Orpington almost but I'm no expert.lol that's just what I see.
Your utility look more like the "classic" Lorp but still a bit different.
The blue's remind me a bit of my Aussie Langshans in the face actually.
Great flock, very pretty. I hope I haven't offended in any way by saying they look like Orps etc
There is actually no such thing as utility blues. You can cross utility blacks with an exhibition blue for 4 or so generations and then you would have utility blues but they were never originally created that way as the blacks were.
Oh, well you learn something everyday!!
