Thanks for the reply, if I am ever in north texas I'll look you up. What part of n texas are ya'll in. That is a beautiful rooster.

If you make it to North Texas, we are raising Buff's too. We have some really nice cockerel's and pullet's that were born last March and early April.

Here is a pic of their Daddy. Notice the 5 gallon water jug in front of him. All of our Orpingtons are gentle and easy to handle. Good Luck!!!

This is my 1 and only Orpington, Twinkie. She is looking at me like.."Can't you see I'm trying to do something here?"
Just thought I would share.

Love her, very pretty!

She is one of the best looking birds I have. I have never owned a standard/large breed bird before. I love her!

Angie, looking nice. It's hard to tell alot now , they go threw stages where they look good and then they don't. By Nov. you will be able to pick out the ones you want to show. They will just pop out and you will know. Great job

I recently got some new chicks they are about 3 weeks old. The breeds are 1 blue orpington, 1 sicilian buttercup, and 2 white leghorns.

Here they are as 2 week olds.

They are let outside about everyday, here they are with Mellow my silkie ( who I think is a roo).


Spice the SB enjoying a dust bath with her four sisters.


Charcoal the blue orpington being stared at by Mellow.


Lime (in the front) and Lemon (in the back).

Here's this years chicks that were hatched mid-March- June. Its not all of them but a good representation. I will have a hard time picking and choosing on the Buffs but mine not so much.

Her color is off but I like the structure on this dark pullet. One of the youngest, undecided on her.


Little buff below was the runt but she is catching up.


Nice lacing but not impressed with type.


The only black cockerel I kept. But he may go too.



The blue one I am liking again. She has a nice head. imo

Those buff pullets are really coming on! Not the K. Get those girls a really nice K.The black K. has possibilities.Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Thank you both.

The older ones have gone through several "gangly" stages already. I didn't get pics of all the buff cockerels but I think out of the 4 there's going to be at least one good one. Now my bbs is another story. I kept the one older black cockerel (he is a few weeks younger than the buffs) and I have one more little dark blue cockerel coming up but he is very young.

I will see if I can find pics of him.

ETA: here are the 2 youngest. They are approx 7-9 weeks old. They are too young for me to tell much yet. The pullet is going to be a medium blue and the cockerel will be dark blue both have nice dark eyes but that's about all I can tell for now. That is if I am right in my sexing of them.
