I'm glad you could join our community! BBS Orpingtons are such lovely birds. Thanks for sharing those photos! If I ever bred large fowl chickens, I'd probably raise Blue Orpingtons (or Blue Ameraucanas). Yours appear to have beautiful coloring and nice fluffy body type.
Welcome to our community and I hope you enjoy BYC as much as we do! Good luck with your chickens and your Newfy.
I LOVE Newfies. I used to walk a lot at weird hours like 2 am or so. Dark streets- no sidewalks maybe a street light every two blocks. So I was out walking in the middle of the street ,didn't want to get grabbed by someone/thing, hiding in the bushes. Out of nowhere I saw this big, black, hulking shape coming towards me. I nearly had a stroke. But, as it came under a streetlight I realized it was a neighbors newfie. He walked beside me almost through my entire outing - he was MY hero. I thought NOTHING would harm me while he was there.
Oops forgot I'm on a chicken board here. Welcome to Backyard chickens, so glad you joined the flock. You may be interested in the Canadian thread "Canadians -check-in-here." to find out what is going on in your area. You do have a beautiful flock, Blue & splash orps are gorgeous.
