The BANTAM ORPINGTON Thread

Hey Jim, no they are white. It was just a mix of brooder lights, bad lighting in my laundry room and the angle I took the pic with my cheap camera.

She is actually a very nice chick (conformation wise). She arrived yesterday but it out of stock that I already have here that is from David Crotts. They are really really nice type/color birds and I have started to show one of the hens. Have another show next weekend and plan to take the buff hen again. This little pullet shows much promise to make it to the shows already.

no wonder they look yellow

Good luck at the show. I expect to see lots of pictures and some RV, BV, RB, and BB on those cards

Glad it is just the lights. David has excellent birds. Just glad I have never had to compete with them! Guess we will at Crossroads!

Here is a candid shot from this afternoon of my boy and one of his girls. I will be taking her to a show again next weekend.

Hoping for some offspring from this group soon.

Ok here are a few pictures that I took with my cell phone. The roos got frost bite and so they are in the process of losing their combs.

He is a nice roo, he should produce you some pretty blues off those blacks in no time!

Too bad there weren't more people with bantam orps, would love to see lots of activity on this thread.
