Mrs. Fluffy thank you for sharing your pics of your gorgeous Whites. I LOVE THEM!! SUPERB!!!
Now for something totally different. Just as I think I know about everything my BUSTOFF has to offer, I make an EXTREME new discovery of what makes a BUSTOFF!!!
Can you say RUMPLESS? RUMPLESS ORPINGTON????
BUSTOFF is simply amazing with what he has to offer!!
I know some here like my pal Harry LOVE the look of a Rumpless bird. But for an APA guy who loves ORPS, and LOVE my long backs and tails, this just don't look right! lolololol

Now here is about as short a back I will tolerate. Sherman is 2nd generation offspring from my original Bamma boy DOC. Son of SPANKY.
He is as wide as long. Going to be a BIG OLE BOY!!
LOOK AT THE BONES! & HIS DOME! He is
SHERMAN Tank

And I can resist taking ANOTHER pic of my Brown Red cockerel, who is as well a wide boy! And more to what I am use to as a long back and long tail Orp

rumpless orpington? HA..I think he will be real nice later on for you...i kind of like him, or looks like her.....when we were in england my nephew called those cochiningtons..and they needed thier own classification.... .but I do think he will suprise you later on, the australorps in down under look like that.....my nephew said they called them clean legged cochins. and or cochinington....and then showed me hurcules thier federal champion..didnt look very much like a cochin..he was stunning and massive..I think you might like that baby a little later on..he will streach out a tad for you..i think it might be interesting to see him finished..if nothing else he might tidy up some tails for you..I do llike an orpington to look like an orpington , not a cochin..but I also understand why they added more of it.
that red looks like a real meaty bones
I was wondering since you have some of these, have you experienced problems like a lot of stubbs?..A freind of mine got some really nice english orps but she said it was hopless trying to deal with all of the leg stubbs on them..not sure where she got them but I can ask..that was kind of another reason I steered away from them..Im not hearng many people in here complaining of it..but I have several people out showing saying its a real problem in that version. The english like type and Liam said they sometimes put type over correct ..like anything, years ago here we were breeding massive horses with teeney little feet and they could barley walk and they called them halter horses, ..its just something that will work itself out eventually with care breeding
