Oh and I looked at a lot of pics on the Official orpington site and I think the white smudge they get when they get older is OK. I saw a few hens that had this. It's not like it's the white lobe that leghorns get.

I am so impressed with the size of this bird! Why, it's taller than that horse and nearly reaches the tree top!

Okay good! I will hope for that. I already have 2 silkie/EE mixes that have feathered feet...that's enough for me.

Yes they can have feathered feet as a chick and loose it when they get older. Much to the dismay of breeders of feather footed breeds that wanted them feathered. LOL

Wow, that's great news! So you can keep your girls for breeding then?

I'm gonna have to separate the hens I want Red to breed with and see what happens. Right now Red is the flock master of my egg layers and I couldn't deprive him of his favorite hens and............ they aren't all BO's either.

OMG! I just looked at this pix on the Orpington site. Do they bathe & blow dry birds prior to showing like they do with dogs? This bird looks like a crazy cartoon basketball. Too cute-lol!:

Could you post a pic of that bird. I've got a EE/Silkie chick and I'm wondering what it'll look like. Right now it's an ugly bird with a mohawk!
