The BANTAM ORPINGTON Thread

Wanted to be clear... Ordered through Purely Poultry, but chicks came from Ideal.

Show them anyway and see how many "top" breeders you beat!

After looking thru brooders yesterday I realized I have whites coming out my ears!!

Lots more pullets than cockerels too.

Our newest "Duplex" Backyard Coops - Monticello, Arkansas
https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/duplex-backyard-coop

We built it for our Black/Blue/Splash Orpington Bantams. Its not really a "backyard" coop since its in the front yard with a "for sale" sign on it! We have already had folks stop to look at the coop and the bantams.

The Blacks are from Majestic Lane; the Blue & Splash hens are from Dick Hortsman. The Splash male is from the Superior Farms sellout and never learned whose line he was. They sure like their new coop!
