Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

I have a very typey black cockerel with tons of red leakage on his head and down his neck. I was about to come on here and see if he was usefull for anything. I hate to turn him into soup. So what do I do with him? He is only 6 months old and doesn't show any red other then head/neck at this time.

Well, I was told not to keep them especially for a breeding program. I have had acouple in the blacks and twice a few years ago in the blues. I was told it was from the breeder I got hatching eggs from. Unless someone especially wants him from you for a project I would cull. My 2 cents.

More Disney chicks:

Yes, I know its November

Have to do most of my hatching and winter the chicks in the house because I'll be away in the spring.

We are getting some request for a source for White Orpingtons large fowl. I suggested hincjc. Does anyone else have any available. They are wanting exhibition quality.

Our lone hincjc Buff Orpington pullet is getting harder to tell apart from our others. It is the only hincjc bird we now have. Will seperate her shortly with one of our best Bacon/Britt/Clevenger line males. Can't wait to see what we get.

I believe Korfus Kluckers breeds Whites...

Yea they do, best I have ever seen, the lines from east coast breeders seem to have really long backs.
