Chicken tag is rather like trying to herd cats. Stop it. Just get a hose with a nozzle that says "Jet". Call; Chick, chick, and use the spray to herd them in. Works every time.

...

, herding cats??!!, wow, will definitely remember this..for sure!

Poopsie hopped up on the lawnchair to say hello. My husband loves her, every time he goes into the back yard she tries to sit on his lap and follows him around the yard like a love struck teenager



Mr.Splash relaxing with a few of his ladies [Right: Bella, Behind: Bigfoot (or Momma C)]



He's a lazy boy, and is always laying in the yard somewhere. They had a break from the rain this morning so he tried sunbathing on the porch.



Poopsie and Popcorn LOVED the huge puddles in our flooded backyard. Digging for worms! I can't believe how big they are now!

While I love and have been drooling over the English Orps, what I have are plain ol' hatchery birds. I could really use some help learning the correct type for SOP Buffs. I know my girls are way too light colored and have some shafting and could certainly use fewer points on their combs, but I'm not sure about their body type. Certainly they are not round like the English that have been posted. Nor do their 'skirts' go way down close to the ground. My roo. Well, I'm sure he's not even close, tho is color is darker he still has some shafting. Also his legs seem too long and he seems too tall and lanky.

If you have SOP Buffs I would really like to see some pictures of them, just to get an idea if my girls are at least close in body type.

What matters is you like them. Most of us started with Hatchery birds. I have seen nice birds from hatchery as well. Go ahead and post ur babies I'd like to see them. VIVI

I have a really really old hatchery orp..she does not even look like an orp. But I can go take a pic of her if you like.

I like to see all the bird pics I can cuz it helps everyone to learn, and it is nice to share pics.

This is I assume a hatchery cross. I got her from a neighbor about 5 years ago. She said she was pure Orpington, but I do not think it is possible. I adore her. She is a wonderful mother and lays nice size eggs.

These are my other Orpingtons
