jon I think I would IF I was you. It is never a bad thing to have such a high quality breeder who shows regularly at shows you will attend. It is not about winning, it is about making the connections to make great birds. IF I never went to Columbus OH last fall I would not have the number of nice Buffs I have now. That is where the fun in showing is. And being beaten like a bad drum by Doug is good therapy. lolol

There is another Orpington thread dedicated to the pure English Orpington line birds. I am thinking the comb color will not get a DQ. You may loose a point or less. However I am not a judge. I lost a Black cockerel to the racoon I eliminated who had the same dark skinned comb. I was very bummed, he would have been a very nice boy. I still bring in my better cockerels from that pen every nite, even though I am pretty sure i got the predator responsible for the massacre

Yea i have thought about getting some of her Minorcas. The surprising thing is that her birds actually didnt do to good and I think I beat the white rocks from her stock at my county fair.

Nava,
I had one with a black comb like that ..... it turned red later .... just took some time, but it did.
