Jubilee Orpington

[Ashley Bird]

Please tell me this is a pullet! I had three one I rehomed (had a really large and red comb at an early age) the second we lost to a hawk and this is what I have left! It’s 13 weeks old. It’s comb just recently started to become redder. It’s fluffy tail feathers are throwing me off!

Male. No doubt. So sorry.

Sorry, it's a cockerel.

I'm sorry, cockerel for sure. Not sure he's Jubilee either, looks red and splash. Maybe an attempt at blue laced red??

Agree with others that it’s male and also not a jubilee.

Dang it! Yes, they were listed as blue/splash/jubilee orpingtons. A lot of the pictures of the hens they came from had a lot more white in them than the ones I’ve seen online. I had wanted a different breed but they didn’t have any hatch so I got these as replacements. Along with BLR Wyandottes and ALL of them are Roos!! I know that’s just how it goes, but it’s still disappointing. I don’t have the space or enough hens to keep all 4 Roos happy!

Papa’s Poultry in Redding, CA has nice Jubilee Orpingtons. He ships hatching eggs and chicks. I hatched some shipped eggs from his Orps and had a good hatch rate (for shipped eggs anyway). He packs them really well.

I’ll have to keep that in mind when I’m ready to hatch chicks!

I agree with the recommend of papa's in Redding Ca. for Orpingtons I just has a good hatch and will try to get more from him.
