Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

I didn't understand the post, your grammar and sentence structure is not as clear as you think it is. You have the picture that Dave K posted. That is good enough. just think of it as black or whatever color you want. It is not perfect ....it is a photo of an actual bird and has not been retouched, so it is not perfect.

I use too many words for a simple request..long rambeling maybe..and type way too fast..muti tasking in my mind.. but I dont understand what is so hard about what is a very good black orpington today supposed to look like...don got it..

When I was doing the delaware picture for logo, I had hundreds of photos thrown at me with that same request..they didnt seem to have a problem with comprehension.

lets just never mind..it isnt important..I will just keep liking what I like..Its not worth it.So we'll just forget I asked..on to the next subject..

Walt has it right. You will not see a picture of a Black Orp which is as nice as the 1946 pic of the Buff DaveK posted. Sadly, Cecil Moore has passed. IF there ever was one he would have had his hand in making one. Most all Blacks heads are too small to compete, I am just starting to see very few Blacks with a stiffer and tighter feathering. That is why I am trying to make some with that look. But, I need the bigger heads too. You just need to take an old school pic of Dave's pic, or even better, look at Allen's White in his avatar, look at the negative, which will look like a Black Orp and not a Buff, and go by that for now. As Allen says, and he is alot more picky then most here, even his pullet has a few traits that he likes to change.
And that is IF you choose to go to APA Shows that have some of the better Orp breeders you will see what these big Buffs look like in person and burn that image into your brain..

Well Walt like you said, many here rather the APA/ABA SOP change the description to meets some folks birds, then these few to try and make birds that actually meet the SOP description. They need to learn from that wise ole saying,
"IF you can't beat em join em".
I am trying to join em. I go to APA sanctioned Shows, and get my butt beat by better more to meeting the APA SOP description of Orps and come home and try to get a game plan to breed my birds like the ones I get beat by. It's a rare day when my birds win the BB in my kneck of the woods. lololol
