I am in Wa state and just started with the Mottled (or Spangled) Orps. I love them. So cute and so friendly! Any other "Mottled" people in Washington State?
I love Orpingtons. I've raised them for years and they are beautiful, friendly and gentle (my children, and now my granddaughter, made lap pets out of ours), and good layers of large, brown eggs. I currently have four Buff Orpingtons in my flock, but I have to admit that the Mottled Orpingtons are especially beautiful. Good luck with your Mottled Orps.
