Chocolate Orpingtons?

[turbo]

Yes I will be at Central Indiana...I threw in a few SLW LF and will probably be over in the barn with the call ducks, if you get a chance or I run into you it would be nice to meet you. I know Doug, so I will try to get him to introduce us at the show.

I know Grant B....he runs the Fancy Fowl Magazine over the pond and he featured my call ducks in a issue a few months back and interviewed me for the feature, he is a super nice guy, but probably gets so many emails each day that he cant keep up with them... you are right about Bob, he has nice Dunns and its a shame we wont be trying to get them in the ABA this year as planned, although I know Bob from Wyandottes not Orps and Bob doesnt have LF Wyandottes anymore Don Ryan got his flock.

I have seen alot of Dunns at the shows and I have seen the Choc Orps in Person...there really is a big difference in color. I like and respect your opinion so lets just agree to disagree.., I dont want you attacking me at the Central Show..LOL. My buddy Chris Ervey has been raising Dunn for years and he goes nuts when I bring this up...so much so that I had to mail him a feather from a Choc Orp to prove my point.

Jerry I am a fairly mellow person. I get more worked up when people attack my friends then me. And I know Bob as prolly one of the wisest orp breeders from what I hear other Orp breeders say. He is getting bored with them and sold off his stock. But you never know. He MAY get the itch again to whoop on Doug and the younger folks with his wonderful line of Buffs he protected for so long.
Yes most definitey say hey. I am usually the bored guy that is buggin ladies like Joyce Fuesting or anyone who will talk to me. I am bringing 13 birds. All Orps and two are these Brown Reds, rest are Buffs and Blacks and one fake homemade New Hampshire.

That was prolly cause I was hanging out and buggin Joyce Fuesting the whole time. Joyce is a super nice lady. I got one heck of a nice Buff Sport cockerel from her line to make some White Orps with. At that time a year ago I never knew her line threw Buff Sports. And also have one decent Buff SPort pullet. I am using everything I have to make White Orps and hope they do not look like cr@p. And her male and sire to these Buff Sports won the junior show at last years Indiana State Fair Poultry Show. He is outstanding. So I hope the genetics is there for a few true snowy Whites to pop out next season. I have her cockerel with jerry Powells White hen who I love. She is about 9 lbs with a nice full chest and not attending any shows. She stays here till I have 20 or more Whites to use in case something would happen.
