Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

Hello all! Been following another thread and happened onto this one. Hope you all don't mind some show and tell! This is a 10 mo pullet I bred. She is mostly American with some UK influence 3 generations ago. She and her mom are my hopefuls for the fall/winter show season which starts next month. Grass is growing like crazy from all the rain (it was too wet to mow), so though you can't see her legs, they really are there and not covered by fluff

Lovely girl. Like that profile.

Help please answer my two buff Orpingtons are wheezing, every time they breathe. About every half hour they sneeze, and the wheezing goes off. 5 mins later it starts again. Eating and drinking fine, had this for about a month.

I could be wrong, but be sure they are cool enough. I've had them wheeze and do that when they were extremely hot. Lots of shade, lots of water! And air flow. Fans.

Pretty girl. Love her tail and her big black eyes.

Check that their bedding is not moldy. We've had a lot of rain here, and I've had trouble finding wheat straw that is not musty.Moldy shavings , or straw will start birds wheezing evert time.

I thought I had these 2 sexed but now I am undecided. The first two pics are of the one I originally thought was a cockerel. The last pic I am sure is a pullet. Any opinions? They are roughly 12 weeks old. I can't find any sex feathers or any true signs of a cockerel so I am confused. Thanks

These blues are going to be extremely hard for me to breed to get nice lacing. I seem to get mostly medium or dark blue and am fighting the "small head and light eye" things. There is going to be lots to cull & I don't hatch very many so I don't know where this is going to go for me.

btw: beautiful pics as usual and cograts on the show win!

They look like pullets to me. Very pretty. Had the same issue with blue lacing and finally bit the bullet and infused the line with a new rooster from a proven blue bloodline. Instant results. I've got several chicks on the ground with very defined lacing, just waiting to see what the line did to type.

Forgot to post the pic of the improved lacing:
