Buff Orp - I want to show him in the fall county show. What do you think?

[heart my hens]

I know very little about the standard for the buff Orp, I am new to the breed. when I look at images online he looks different to me. He was hot so his wings are normally in the correct position. And he is under a year.

His comb looks like it isn't perfect. I have to ask though where did you get your bird from?

Aren't orpington roosters supposed to have a tail?

 

[brahmabreeder]

I think so

I found a picture.

I ordered the eggs from a lady in NE Oklahoma. One of my crazy hens jumped on him and bloodied his comb. Now I have a newer picture and he does have more of a tail now. I just don't know much about the standard of perfection and did not know if I even had a chance.

There are plenty of pictures on this thread: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGK/Orps/BRKOrps.html

And here's a link to a page with the APA Standard of Perfection for Orpingtons: http://www.heavensentranch.com/orpingtons.htm

I would try to enter him. What do you have to lose?
