I hadn't seen anyone with any. Your tops here, and I'd like to see someone show one better.

Here's a pic of my BO pair. I had a second hen but she was killed. Marianne is broody in the pic so looks pitiful and generally put-out with life in general, and James had a case of lice when I got him so his tail isnt in the best shape yet, but what do you all think?
Also excuse the messy litter. There's a 2x2 area in front of the nest box that she would come out to eat and cool off, and of course poop, and James doesnt like to roost on the actual roost, he roosts on the edge of the nest box above hers so of course that is the poopiest area of the whole coop!!! Yes I cleaned it just after the pic. I was scared I wouldnt get the pic otherwise! OK I'm done rambling!

Julie - Thanks for posting all these photos. You have quite a few babies there that are looking GREAT !!!! And Charlie - *sigh* - he is just so beautiful. There are a couple of pullets that I might be haggling with you about getting !!

Well I can officially post my orpington picture now..a rea black buff orp added to our flock..you guys are the greatest for letting me show a few australian orpington pics....
Well here she is. She came from Oklahoma 3 years old. APA judge Pator Romig picked her up for me and I picked her up at Faulkners exhibition poultry farm..southern hospitality in small town Pa. They have some breeds that are very rare and show all over east coast.
Sadly the birds owner developed cancer and his wife couldnt manage the flock, they fell into a little disrepair but not too bad.
I have dusted her as a precaution, she has everything else pullorum testing and was in quarentine for almost 2 weeks.
The powder you see is from me , with all those feathers cant be to cautious . shes actually quite shiney when not all dusty.
I know Charlie and folks at wilds of Pa might like to see her. When I see Pastor Romig again, I will ask him the name of the former owner, he was supposed to be one of the best breeders in the country , you might know who it is, all I know is he lives in Oklahoma and had a massive show breeding flock, and needed to disperse them due to illness.
Im going to use her if all goes well to improve my australorps for show and just for vitality, they are getting a little too imbred now and needed some outcrosses. since finding good australorps is as rare as hens teeth. She could definatly improve things...I hope. She sure will have a good life here, and I will show her next year, I cant get my pullorum tester to come back for her, she wont travel that far for one bird , plus she needs a little R and R for this year and the birds tag is expired in first week of july. so shooting for showing next year...She sure will live like a queen bee around here.
All dusted up, shes like a big feathered balloon and I love the giant feet.
She dwarfs my pullet
She certianlly looks different than my dainty little Australorps.

Nice tail! Congrats on the great new addition. The original owner would be happy knowing you have taken her in and will make her a very happy chicken.
