Hey Frenchy, those are some really pretty Orps. That first one in the cage has some huge legs. Good to see you on this board. I can't seem to get on the other board. I read the post but I have change my password so many times to get on I can't remember it anymore so just gave up trying.
 
Frenchy, have you seen my flaming red orp that I hatched from a blue orp roo over buff orp hen?

He has a cool buff racing stripe. His sister is just a buff muted blue.
 
You might get me interested in some controlled breeding instead of raising barnyard chickens.
