On my way down to Fortuna with my husband to spend overnight child-free, and then drag him around the show in Ferndale tomorrow gh: Haven't managed to arrange a pre-sale with anyone going to the show, but if I don't find anything in the sale cages, I did find someone in Mckinleyville with layers for sale, so either way, the work on the quarantine pen won't be wasted ;-)

The English Orps don't do well in an APA show. They are way to fluffy and loose feathered. The British Standard and the APA Standard are very close but the birds that came over here look more like our Cochins than Orps. Free ranging a British Orp is a problem in wet weather. On top of that everyone is claiming that they are British Orps when many times they are hybrids to hatchery birds. If you want a big good looking fluffy bird get them.. They look kind of cool, but they are not going to do well in any kind of show...people say all kinds of things online. At the Ohio National the Brit Orps were not placing...they say all kinds of crazy things in the British Orpington thread. Some want to start a club that will put the APA out of business........it's not doing all that well. It's calledThe Royal Orpington Club if you want to find out all kinds of misinformation.

Bottom line is: if you don't plan to show and just want a fluffy chicken to watch, why not get them?

And they eat........a lot.

Enjoy your child free time and have a great time at the show!
