I wanted to share some pictures of my BBS Orps I got from Joy Adkins, they'll be 8 weeks at the end of the month.
Splash cockerel.
An already massive blue cockerel.
For size comparison, the blue boy next to the splash boy.

Everyone is showing such pretty Orpingtons.
I want to yuck things up with some molting Cocks.
Some are just starting, some are well into their molt. NO eggs from any.
I think you can tell more from a pic when they molt cause there is no feathers to hide the faults.
Here is the yuck pics
My ever elusive KORgo
I rate him number in my original Black line
DOC
Feran, he isn't lookin too bad. Prolly my best Black Orp
Flozelle is, I believe half from my original Milkey hen. That is why I put him back in with her.
He is just different
Flo's mom is big and he dwarfs her. She is supposedly from a 14 lbs black Orpington cock. just recently weighed too by Russ Milkey
Better pics of DuD
The last few weren't so hot

They are looking just awesome Jeremy. I can't believe how many pullets you got. I wish I could get that same rooster
ullet ratio.
Bill, some of my birds are in the midst of a hard molt too, and they look just horrid. I love the picture of your 8 month old pullet you got from Julie...gorgeous.
Cheryl - Your two girls are looking great !!
Ms. Bird-Brain - I love the coloring of your splash roo ! Stunning !!

Yes, I posted some different pictures over on the English Orp thread, too. There's also a link to my photo album and a video of these precious little ones! These are the only Orpingtons I have, I just wanted to share the pictures with everyone who owns this fantastic breed. I think they're beautiful.
Joy, I've had some weird luck with hatching pullets this year, either I hatch (or receive) mostly pullets like in this case with the Orpingtons, or it's the opposite end of the spectrum where I only hatch cockerels!
I need to find happy medium.
Bill, that picture of the GIANT rooster making his hen look so small is priceless, gotta love those big round boys.

Joy, I have two Black pullets from Julie. Their the bomb. I am thinking at least three different cocks/cockerels ahead with them. Being ultra "Low Riders", they will make some neat babies with my "High Waters". And then I have two nice males from Julie to take to these two Black pullets. Should be a fun year ahead.

Jeremy - I'm going to send you my eggs and you can hatch them for me !! See if you can get me some pullets. Those last 6 chicks I hatched from The Churchills were all cockerels !! My ratio for Winston & CLementine chicks is 9:2 - 9 cockerels and 2 pullets !! Anyway, I think your chicks are just gorgeous.
Bill - Yes, the birds you have from Julie will really help you in your breeding program. She has just wonderful birds. I just got 3 big fat pullets from her a couple of weeks ago...here is a picture of them - The P's - Portia, Petra, and Prudence. Petra is the splash, Prudence is the darker blue, and Portia is the lighter blue. They are around 6-7 months old in these pictures. I'm really anxious to breed them with my one of my English roosters and see what I get. Now if I just had more room !!
I've already bred a couple of hens I got from Julie to my Winston. Here is my favorite pullet from that mating - Bluebell. She is about 3.5 months old.
