Jubilee Orpingtons are the Orps with the mille fleur type colouring. Coronation Sussex is a blue (or lavender) silver columbian & a Speckled Sussex is a dark red mille fleur colour.​

in Orpingtons Coronation is as Speckled in Sussex.

So I wrote "Jubilee" because the Orpington with a similar colour to a Speckled Sussex is called a Jubilee Orpington. There are no Coronation Orpintons.

The Coronation Sussex is said to have been first developed in the 1940s in honour of the coronation of a King George, presumably of Britain, though there were no kings at all crowned in the 1940s, King George VI, being the last King George, his being crowned in 1937.

The Jubilee Orpington being developed in honour of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897; the variety originally being known as the "Diamond Jubilee Orpington".​

well whatever it is called it is georgeous!!! I am going to try to make something similar I am sure it wont work but maybe in a few years I will make a silkie with that coloring

I am gonna put my Columbian pattened (not really but thats what I call her) SG with a lavender and see what happens I will do it this winter and not offer any eggs for sale but just do it to amuse myself

Why are they selling the split?

Do they not have a female?

Or are they keeping the purebreeds for themselves and throwing in the Columbian females as a way to sell more eggs?

 

[AHappychick]

I think they have lots of them but dont sell the full ones, arent they amazing!!!

We are breeding one of our Australian line Coronation Sussex roosters to our Australian line Light Sussex to improve type and have a different line introduced into the Coronations. We have lavenders from Coronation Sussex rooster crossed with lavender Orpingtons too.
