the LF has been more popular than the BF but I bet if more city folks would want a smaller sized Orp, the BF would fit the bill!

I'm a "city folk" and I would love to have some Bantam Orpingtons if I could find someone near me to buy from. I would be glad to drive because I worry about shipping. I just found your thread and have been admiring your photos.

Are you going to be bringing any bantam black orp pullets or hens to sell at Crossroads? I am looking for 2 or 3 with good type...dont have to be SQ, but at least breeder quality..

Thanks....

Hi! wanted to let all you bantam orp fans know that I have a few things available and more to come as I am currently doing some hatching.

Currently have a young black pair, extra young black cockerel (cockerel is SQ, pullet is nice other than her comb has too many points), a couple of project mille's, one small buff pullet. Currently incubating bbs.

The SOP only gives 5 points for comb out of 100 possible points overall. Shape and type is more important than the comb.

ugh If I wasnt already doing another project, or had more room , I would snatch up those milles.

Just hatched a few more out last week and have some really promising colors coming in on the wings already.
