I LOVE silver laced English Orps.

I would also die for a lavender cuckoo english Orp. As well as a chocolate, lavender laced, and blue laced..... Heck, just give me all the English Orps. Except Buff.

It's not boring, there's actually multiple genes that create it.

Multiple genes to create a boring color I'll keep my genetically simple but at least nice to look at birds.

I'm working on breeding towards show type. One of my Buff orps has good body type, & coloration. Just don't have a picture of her at the moment.

I'd die for anything Silver Laced, tbh. We had a Silver Laced Wyandotte booted bantam that was the sweetest thing. Kinda looked like a mini soccer ball, tho.

I've been dying to get my hands on some chocolates for the longest time, I loooove chocolate! I have chocolate mottled hatching eggs coming in the next few weeks and I am so anxious about figuring out how I can make sure as many hatch as possible

IMO, Orps should be THICC with booty fluff. None of your skinny Orps here, please. That's like low-fat butter.

Fluffy Buff Butts.

Okay y'all, controversial opinion (for this thread): SOME BO's are pretty. Like a nice pale caramelly color. I don't like the BO's that are plain tan, but I do like the ones with a warmer cast to their feathers like these above ^^^
