Can someone make a thread giving some very minimal details on how the creation of the JO was done?

Very beautiful bird. I am amazed at the varieties that I have yet to learn about......thanks for sharing!

More eye candy...

The hens are from Reinhold Boven in Germany, the rooster is from Charley Burton in Britain (all brought in as eggs).

Those are some beautiful birds! You raised them from imported eggs?? Nicely done!!

Very beautiful. I know with all this interest in Orps now here in the USA someone will get dedicated and bring this color to us.

Yep, the eggs were posted to me (bless the EU) and I hatched and raised them. Sorry, should have said that I'm in Ireland.
I know of a guy who has sent eggs (different breed) to the US on a number of occasions without having cut through all the red tape.

However, I don't dare contemplate what would have happened to him had they been discovered...
