Welcome. I only have one bantam orp, but she gives us many stories & a lot of personality. She goes broody all the time.

I like your CCL. Mine doesn't look very good at the moment - due to molt & a poor camera angle.
Doesn't she look pathetic?
Have you noticed that CCL's are very 2-faced? (Can look stunningly beautiful or grumpy, evil depending on the camera angle. LOL)

Here's Dolores looking her worst. Missing crest, tail, & chest feathers. Comb's all deflated. Giving the angry eye.

Poor girl , my Bielefelders look the worst out of my flock during the molt .

Do you sell any of your bantam orpington chicks or hatching eggs? I'm been looking but not finding any in my area.

Hey Jeremy I knew it was you from the avatar pic. I am trying to work on Wheatons. The hens are on strike.

Absolutely beautiful! Your male is handsome & the female looks like a queen. (Or maybe she only thinks she is. Either way = trouble LOL) I love the little round, ball-like shape.
