JIm... I enjoyed that joke so much I shared it with my family.

thank you for the laugh

Sometimes we get way to serious of stuff!

Some of us may never agree on certain issues. But we can all agree $10 is a good price for a talking rooster that is also a liar!

That's what all those petticoats are for!! Orps are an English breed, and it's COLD over there, but that fluff keeps them toasty.

Yes it does!, when she was eating they were following her around trying to get under her and she eventually give in and just plonked her self down in the muddy pen :/

Hi Everyone, I recently ordered and received The Orpington Fowl books (Dr. Burdett and Dr Batty). I will share part of an email during my correspondence with Dr Batty just in case any of you are willing and interested. If you were to submit photos to me, I'll put them all in a CD, then send them to Dr. Batty for his consideration in the next edition of the book. Proceeds benefit The Poultry Welfare Trust (UK). So...go and dig up some photos so that we can have our Orps represented.

Quote from our email correspondence:

Would value photos of your birds (and those of your friend) for inclusion in our books. The USA birds tend to be more true to the Standards than do the British !
With All Good Wishes
JIM

Please consider sharing your beautiful Orps!!
