This is my Pita Buff Orp Cross love the penciling and neck colors extremely surprised at this outcome



The other 2's hatchmates The pita in front is very sweet. And the bird in the back is a LegbarxJersey Giant cross. All of these guys are so friendly

This is my near 20 week Pita girl She looks very good. The Wellie boy is sticking his head in (he was a feedstore pullet) the hamps are getting big too (almost 12 weeks here)



the 12 week old hatchery Dels

And the surprise boy from the feedstore pullets

Its a little dar but this is another Pita Buff Orp chick hatched nearly 3 weeks ago


Not sure if its boy or girl yet but looks an awful lot like its older sister.

Where did you get your orpingtons from?

I purchased all my eggs from ebay. These are all we hatched out ourselves. Unfortunately it's been year of the rooster for us and we have hatched almost no females..

Do you know what lines are they from

No I'm not sure about their lines. I'm sure if they were greenfire or something like that it would have been advertised though. They are beautiful so far and I've had lots of communication with the breeder. Very honest people.

Sounds like your hatches have produced more boys as well. I read that the hen determines the sex of the chick unlike people who the male determines the gender. I think it's time some breeders start using some different hens lol

Kind of limited on the Pita choices though. And my blue egg laying project. I haven't got a single Blue egg layer yet. I set a bunch of CLB eggs but none were fertile. The one Legbar EE cross I got is male. I have a white layer in with the Legbar boy too but she has spent too much time broody and currently isnt laying. (Decided to go fake broody about a week ago)

Hoping for September hatching
Ark Blues, Barred Hollands if I can find them and Pitas of course.

Who is the breeder? My choc orp cockerel is still a very non aggressive to people but he is breeding the heck out of my hens. I have been told to keep him in his own cage a few days a week. It seems a little cruel but he gashes a split in my favorelle skin last week. I need to do something with him.
