@FoxholeFarm thank you! They're my first foray into bantams. They've got huge personalities for tiny little birds.
Lual, they are stunning.
I would like to share a of photos of my NH., pullets. They are Walt Leonard, birds. I love these sensible, gentle, Firebirds : )
Thank you for your kind comment, Dear Deann! i don't remember if I sent you the photos of your Mr. T's grandson. He is a bit over a year old, and almost 13 pounds. A big, handsome, sensitive boy who has no idea of his size just like Floyd wasLual, they are stunning.I would like to share a of photos of my NH., pullets. They are Walt Leonard, birds.

Spoiled, lucky birds! They are gorgeous Jeremy! I love the Blue pullet. What a nice wide shape she has. I am looking at them as if they are LF., and simply lovely!!! How big are they? or perhaps I should say; how tiny? I never saw Bantam Orps., in person. Lual@FoxholeFarm thank you! They're my first foray into bantams. They've got huge personalities for tiny little birds.The weather is perfect in Oakland today, so I snapped a few more pics. It's a hard knock life... soaking up the sun, & dust bathing.
I'm falling in love with this little Blue pullet, I need to name her, every day she seems to blossom more & more.
& my Chocolate boy, a bit bleached from all the sunshine we've had this "winter".
I like how they resemble LF still Lual, mini versions of the big Orps we both love. The newly imported line that I'm getting this year look even more like LF, just like shrunk down versions, they're exquisite.
These guys are pretty small, they're true bantams, not like some of the middle-sized Chocolate Orps out there. My "biggest" male probably weighs close to 4(ish) pounds? I haven't weighed him since I got him last year. My hens are all 2-3 pounds.
If you were to tip a 5 gallon bucket on it's side, that's about how tall the roosters are, the hens being slightly shorter.
Itty bitty Orps.
