It looks kind of australorp-ee.
We are told that the first cross with the Self Blue Orpingtons was a single comb bantam to an Australorp. So there are several issues we see in this fellow. His type is not quite there yet and YES his tail is a bit long. Hoping the mating will change both in future generations. Most of these project males have this same issues.

For any who wonder what the real Orpington should look like. At least according to our UOC. Here is the proposed Emblem for the Club.
I do believe in breeding to a picture. Pics do not lie!

That is what the old timers like Brazelton and Clevenger bred for and succeeded in having! I recall seeing Cecil Moore's birds some 30+ years ago. They were really nice! Still are!

What is funny, is the one who said my Feran is lousy really must not know what a real Orp is. I am still amazed that the one went out of the way to mislead a new member like Terry! Now Terry knows the truth from a quality stand point. Thanks to Doug setting him strait. Needless to say I am not impressed with those who knowingly lie to our newer members. It is not good for the Club. I promised to help Terry out with a decent quality Black cockerel, to hopefully give him a better reception into the UOC. He and I just have to get a plan to get him his bird. Can you tell I am still P'd?
Speaking of wide and in charge, here is L A R S a wide load!
I just gave him a couple of girls to play with but none will be there for long. Tonite my 2 Black Bamma pullets will go in for good. He is leggy and those Bamma girls are low riders. Should be an interesting mix.

I've never had a Lavender project Roo with that long a tail. Try putting him on some good English Black hens to improve the generations if your trying to breed true to Orp type.

Jim, I guess that depends on whose first cross you're referring to. Our project did not include any bantams. I suppose others who are working on them may have tried the bantam route. I've never seen one with that long of a tail either. It may be the way he's stretched out in her arms though that makes it look longer.

We were told his parents were from hinkjc eggs. His price was fair....our 4Hers can use him and we must return him when we are done. We will get as many chicks as we can.

If you remember the start and were a member back then 2007, heres the beginning project which started in 2007 as single chick we got, that came from a person in IN. i think some of his bloodline was of imports from 2005 but cant say for sure? i didn't ask to many question and just took the lavender chick to work with, we assumed it was lavender..and as of today we have lavender orpingtons in the USA and will till the end of days..
grand daddy Lester; far from a bantam and in growing with LF Buff orps, mothers were black orps, not English but American stock.. it became a project, 100's if not 1000's of chicks and eggs and our culls are out there.
some of the actual mothers to the project lavender orp, we new it would take a few generations to get them right as all were not prefect but would set it all in the right direction, plus with are lines we new many good breeders would have there hand at them as well. also 1 of these hens started are mottled project as well and was a carrier of the mottled gene. we used them in with a speckled rooster to find out who was who.. thats how some of the lavender mottles and black mottles got started unknowingly until it was to late in the lavender project. we believe our 5th generations have been rid of the mottling gene, will know for sure during hatching 6th generations which are incubating at this moment.
need to see more pictures of the beginning..vist
