My young blue orps

[halo]

Ive got a lot of young blue orps growing up, from Julie, Cyn, and Jim. They are definitely in that teenage stage, but it seems that each day brings a difference; they are growing so fast.

These are some young pullets..

This is a blue roo that Im growing out. He looks the nicest of the blue roos that Im growing out, but we'll wait and see. He's nearly as big as my blue rock already...he's gonna be a big 'un..

This is a young pullet...

These are 2 splash and 2 blue orps...the one splash is a roo; I may keep him, I can't decide yet.

Beauties! I'm getting a few to start incubating this week. Suede needs more ladies! My Delilah is being mated by him but isnt laying yet, dang it!

OMG! I need them!

They are beautiful!!!

You do need them, Cindy, and you know just where to get those eggs, pal, LOL. They are HUGE birds, I tell you. I picked up Velvet today and that's a chunk 'o hen!

hehe I'd love some one of these days. They are the most gorgeous standard sized birds, IMO.

I love love love blue birds. *sigh* This is my favorite right now (splash, but still! hehe)

Okay, no more picture rambling on your thread! ;-)

What a pretty Silkie! And that's alot coming from me, LOL, considering I am not a big Silkie fan.
Kathy, are any of those Suede's?

Cyn, I don't think they are. I went back thru my notes, and the batch of orps I got from you also came with some barred rocks; I got 5 barred rocks hatched, but I dont think any of the orps hatched. I need to keep better records.

What age are your chicks there halo? Mine look very similar. I have a splash orp cockerel as well, at least I'm pretty sure it is.

I had a couple of hatches from the end of March to early May. They are pretty young.
