Blue Orpington Football!

He's a FOOTBALL

I have never raised a boy yet with this sort of shape... I have another one too in White... will he grow into the giraffe neck??? Is this bad or what?

I think the pullets are looking good so far.. yes?

I'd love to know what the resident orpington experts have to say!

My friend had a boy with that shape a while ago, He looked fine when he stopped growing.

He's in the gangly stage. Suede was just like that as a youngster.

Thanks for the vote of confidence... that is a lot of neck to grow into!!! I only hope he grows up half as beautiful as your Suede

Dawn, They are looking good. I look forward to seeing that boy when he grows up. He isn't nearly all he will be. Beautiful colorl.

Thanks, Dawn. I am pretty partial to the Suedenator.

I agreee they are looking wonderful!! My roosters never looked really great til they are around 18 months!! Always gangly young men early on.

Nice pullets for sure! Nice blue lacing.

Bama, Tuff & Speckled... Thanks so much for giving your opinions, as you know more about this than I do, so I'm glad to have you to refer to. I was getting discouraged about this guy, but alas.. he's 5 months old and a looooong way to go yet.

Thanks again
