Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

They look a little too young to tell right now.

Ok. So they don't look freakish or out of the ordinary for pullets yet.

kinda to young to tell but that young and already growing wattles and comb might be roo... Where are you located I might take one off your hands for a good price I need a buff orp roo

I'm in upper east TN.

Can you ship to Indiana? And I was refering to the one or two that had both wattles and comb two have combs but no wattles they are probably pullets

The second one is a roo for sure. Looks exactly like my Barry did at that age (see my profile pic). And he's definitely roo!

BTW - the third one, I'd say definitely pullet.

I know exactly nil about shipping birds. I wouldn't want to attempt it. Sorry. But how close do you live to Bedford? Maybe I could convince my aunt to come for a visit and take a special passenger back with her? Thanks for the tip about the wattles. I'll check them tomorrow and see if they just don't have those yet and could still be pullets or if they just didn't show up in the pics. I've been paging through the lav orp thread and these guys seem to have nearly brighter and bigger combs than most of the mature hens!

Thank you for your input!

I live in bridgeton Indiana it's near rockville it's a bit north of there about four counties north not sure actual Milage as far as shipping I think a box with holes and postage stamp is all you need that's how it normally works.. Lady picked up chicks when I was shipping eggs and that's all she had but it wasn't just one if you have more then one and don't want them I'll take them all( that you don't want)

Did you enter in the calendar contest yet? You might win!

I have tried entering for the calendar before, but didn't get anywhere.... but thank you!

Also, how is Bella doing now?

How comes you're asking? (Just in case your confusing her with a different Orpington). But she's doing great anyways, thank you!

Yeah. Just took pictures of their faces again to check specifically and see if there are wattles. Took them one at a time as they went out to the run so no mistaking if there were duplicates or anybody got missed. The results:
Comb and wattles

Shoot!
