Buy some good GLOs . It will take you years to make them. Why invent the wheel ?

sorry was just wondering what It took

sorry was just wondering what It took

about 5-10 years
2 years in genetics education
about 12 correct adult breeding birds to start. Quality Wyandottes and Quality Buff and Black Orpingtons
a few buildings to house at least 100 birds a year
12 tons of feed
stock in aspirin and a class in patience
$10,000 to start


There are tons of information on the web you can read about. Most will have to be in books. Your best bet will be in the genetics classes.
Poultry Breeding and Genetics by Roy Crawford is a good book to start with.
Good luck to you and please keep us posted on your project.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for the wonderful pictures. I have never seen a gold laced orp before. I recently fell in love with English Orpingtons - last weekend I know so little but the three I was able to procure locally 1 is a full American and two are 1/2 English. I am hoping to grow my little Orpington flock as they are such a delight to watch and interact with
