Orpingtons - My Black and My Red Cockeral

[MissPrissy]

I do have some buffs laying and he is in with them. I might start cracking a few eggs to check. Genetics leaves me with more questions than answers.

How about a white orp since they can hide several colors.

MissP, what shade of red would you be going for? Like Meg's here? Or more like your rooster's? Meg has lacing around every feather you cant capture in a photo well. If you could intensify it, you'd have a beautiful bird.

I have a red orpington. Flaming Red. LOL

I am trying to duplicate him.

Someone tell me something or send me eggs to hatch him a harem. I have buffs, I have a black from BBS, I have a blue from BBS, that I can put in with him. The black and blue should start laying any day now.

Who has white orp eggs?

I don't know what shade of red we could get. I hate to waste him and not try something with him.

If I could find a white orp roo, I could get some white orp eggs MP. DW will kill me one of these days.
