How big are they? I like the imported chocolate orp banties...but I feel like more people are interested in making them bigger than bringing them down to a nice u.s. bantam size.

These are a true bantams. I also have the bantam chocolates. I agree lots of people are trying to up their size. I have 3 different lines of the chocs and have been selecting my smallest ones to keep back for breeders so to continue breeding a true chocolate bantam Orp. I will also use these imported blacks to incorporate with them to keep their color nice and dark.

I'm guessing my cockarel is 8 months old and I've yet to get a fertilized egg from the pair. I know he is going through the motions, but no fertilization. How long do you wait?
