Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

[vebyrd36]

As I am still a newbie I learn from my own breeding program. one of which was the breeding of a total outcross mixx BUSTOFF. Deep within BUSTOFF's genes lay the "RUMPLESS". And BANTAM. And ROSECOMB. And the DUN gene. And on and on and on. The other day I traded my Bantam RUMPLESS Black Orp pullet to Lee. He took this pic.




Another fun genetic trait that lay burried within my Buff Orp line is the UK BUFF ORP GENE.

That roo is nice, I like the little orp to.

Couple of my poultry friends came out and singled him out in that pen. There are two other Buff cockerels in there with him. And some Whites too.

That's what US orps looked like when the standards were the same...US and British. It WILL pop out of the old lines, particularly Clevenger's.Why the APA changed the Orp standard is a mystery to me., but they made it fit what was being bred into Orps at the time during WW1...Rocks. This bird is obviously NOT a Rock.He has the 45 degree tail set called for in the original SOP.Put wider tail feathers on him, and send him to me!

x2 however I love the lttile rumpless pullet!

It seems I have a fondness for rumpless or naturally and/or docked pets. Manx, Schnauzer, Aussie, Dobie to name a few current and past pets.

He is a beautiful bird, you should get some more pics of him..classy guy..Your right Vickie, shame it ever had to change..the first pic kind of caught him in an off moment , but the second pic shows him off ..hes nice.

Im wondering where the rumpless came from? just an anomoly?
Mrs softie had a rumpless look when she was little..a soft bun..doesnt look like that anymore..I wonder if that changes?

I was told by several of my poultry friends to try and make em like they did back in those Clevenger days.

I like the looks of both this one and the one you posted above. I have some with a leggy look and some that look like their legs are stumps. Boy! do I have a long way to go. But all mine are very young so maybe they will change some as they age?

Love those old pics..he does look more like that..

Mrs softie had a rumpless look for a long time. Or I guess tailess...not anymore
