The BANTAM ORPINGTON Thread

Does anyone know who got the Superior Farms Orpington bantams? We were to get hatching eggs. Paid for them. Instead Danny brought us an assortment of Buff Orpington large fowl and Buff Wyandotte bantams. At least we got them.

Just search this entire thread. All 54 pages. There are no photos of White Orpington bantams. Does anyone on BYC have the Whites?

I do I just dont have any good pics, I have 5 right now from Vern and Sandy Holzhueter from the United Orpington Club, and Im getting 4 more from Don Chandler, the president of the United Orpington Club, later this year.

My son has one lonely bantam buff orpington cockerel. I would love to find someone that has hatching eggs or someone close by with extra pullets or hens for sale. They need to be show quality since he does show most of his birds.

Andy Anderson is in Mt. Carmel, IL. He may also have some pullets available. He does not have internet. You can call him at 618-262-8389. His Poultry Press ad states the eggs are $17 dozen postage paid. He has sold some birds for about $25 per bird. He is just across the state line from Evansville, IN. Andy is a very nice fellow to drive down to visit. Is in his 80's.

Congradulations....she's a mother! Received an email from Juliechick today that she hatched out 7 Black Orpington Bantam chicks! Hoping she will post photos. Ethan wants to care for them about a week before they come over to our place. Here is the happy new mother...... guess we will have to wait on photos from Julie!

Here are the pics of the chicks as Jim requested.

It always seems odd to me that chicks that will be all black as adults can have so much white in their fluff.
