Hope you get a good hatch and would love to see the whites.

Love the pics of the black orp cockerels. They remind me of someone I know.

Lovely Orps

I can't wait till i hatch out my own

I personally like Willie. I like his comb and his wattles (the wattles don't look like they will be way too big). I especially like the way his hackles look. I really like his presence as well (from what I can see in the pic).

Bama, nice looking young blacks. I have been reading your posts on the Yahoo Orp site, are these from the breeder in florida you posted about?
The splash has nice color too.

He just looks healthier to me.

Nice green sheen and tail feathers too!

Julie, you have very beautiful birds there. Let me know when your splash girl needs a new home.

As for which to keep, it is wayyyy too early to say either. They both are showing excellent potential, but I wouldn't make a final decision at least until next spring. While they're looking great, you won't know how they finish out for quite some time yet. Actually, if they are your only two black cockbirds, I would keep em both (in case something unforeseen happens to one). I always keep at least 2 buff orps on hand at all times.

Awwww, I wanted first dibs on the Splash pullet...

And I am learning the hard way to keep two of everything with regards to breed roosters!...
