Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

I can't figure it out by going through my profile either. Maybe I need to go to the actual listings...Thanks for your help, though!

By doing a search I found some topics that explained that there was a drop down menu under the edit signature option but it doesn't show up for me now. I think it was there before and that was how I did it. Maybe I already have my limit of "My Stuff" that I can show. Apparently that is what the option was called "My Stuff" and it gave you the drop down menu to add classified listings.

Ha! Found it- thanks. I had the bottom of my page hidden for some reason.

I love my English Orpingtons. I refer to them as English, pure English, Imported English, etc. etc. to make sure people know that there is a distinction between the birds that I raise and American SOP Orpingtons. I do not have American birds, nor will I ever. The English Orpingtons have stolen my heart.

I mean, how could they not? Just look at them.

There's nothing like seeing these birds in person either, pictures honestly just do not do them justice.

It is confusing, but all Orpingtons in the USA are entered into the "English" class, yet are judged according to the American SOP standards. The ones labeled "English" orpingtons should be bred according to the U.K. standard which is different. The most glaring differences are the short back and amount of "fluff" allowed. American SOP Orpingtons are longer in the back and the feathers are only allowed down to a certain amount, shorter than the English Standard. There are other differences but I'm being brief.

So "What's in a name?" Well, nothing if you mislabel your product.

Exactly !!! You said in a few words what I was trying to say in my rambling novel that I posted previously

Joy - your birds are stunningly beautiful and obviously "100%" English - no doubt about it.

Thank you. They give me such pleasure every day. I love to sit outside and just look at them.

That's my Elizabeth, she's one of my favorite Blues. I absolutely love her type.

And if you ever want to sell me some eggs or chicks I'd be happy as can be.
