Orps are much classier than Chokems: here they are dust bathing in my exclusive espalier camellia raised garden. Hmmmph. Plus, they are not hurting ANY plant!

So this might have won me over.

They sure are!!!

..... only when they go broody and try to overpopulate the world with more chickens.

How's this for Fluffy?? This is Jewel - a BIG 10 lb orp hen.View attachment 2449622

Jewel when Broody. She looks like a big hot air balloon. No one will mess with her chicks!View attachment 2449623

Hot air ballon
Beautiful birds

EVERYONE on this thread deserves a shoutout for being a good sport! And, realizing that at heart, Orpingtons, Cochins, Americauna (or however you spell it) Whatever breed you love, chickens are da bomb!

YAY CHICKENS!
