I was literally just about to say that.
I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have seen it spelled that way.
"What gender is this Butt Orphlington?"

Bbs orp x bbs ameraucana (not mine, I bought eggs from someone local who had bought a mixed flock from a breeder.)
He was hatched by my langshan broody 3 yrs ago. They still love each other and I've hatched several of their chicks but they are always cockrels. Can't keep them even though they are super friendly because they always fight with dad.
Here are pics of them. I'd have loved to keep these two. They would walk a quarter of a mile around the pond with me every day. Lol. I gave them away. They are as heavy as Doris (my rooster) but taller.

Oh those Langshan mixes are gorgeous. ❤

I hate hatchery Orpingtons. Which are like it’s own breed. They are mainly What this thread is about. They are like these:

The only complaint I have with English buff Orpingtons is the fact that they are buff, no I don’t have a problem with the breed itself.

That last one is so ugly the second one is way prettier! The cuckoo one is cool though.

The big orange one? Nonsense! He is a certifiable pompom.

I have 4 orpingtons but my one buff is pushy, steals the others food, kicks them out of the dust bath, pushes out the door first in the morning and pecks them on their heads. So why I like orps in general my buff is a witch!

So weird how high his tail is though and the body shape/proportions and roundness and short

No, those are absolutely stunning! It's not the buff genes that are the problem, it's the solid buff color
Buff laced is also good IMO

@ColtHandorf look. Dawg not only has broken tastebuds but broken eyes too. She’s saying hatchery Orps are prettier than magnificent English Orps.
