The BANTAM ORPINGTON Thread

What are your plans? Are you wanting to show them?

Thank you, Walt. Your critique was most helpful. I agree the tail angle is not what is should be, but hoping it will improve with age. They are 5 months old and moulting right now.

Don, my immediate plans are not to show. But regardless, for now, I want to breed a bird at least similar to the SOP and one I'm proud of.

Don, I apologize. I neglected to answer one of your questions. My birds are from Aarron Hunsinger. And no chocolates, only blacks. The one you asked about is actually a dark blue is doesn't reflect a brown hue in reality.

Still yet, all Orpingtons being shown in North America will have to be bred to the American Standard of Perfection, as that is what they will be judged by.

I don't think no one said anything about how they were to be shown, We like our English breed & will keep them that way if we please, no matter who likes it, some of us have not ever even shown a bird but I would not part with my English birds for nothing, we love em. I think the UOC is happy to be a sister club with the UKOC, If you will remember that is where they were originated

Well of course.....

Well, everyone should come to my neck of the woods. The English orpingtons beat the pants off of the American Orpingtons here...time after time after time.

Alot of places the English crosses are winning. The blacks and white gene pool was about gone, with a new shot od blood these guys will be up and running. Funny thing, some of the best std buffs today have a shot of English blood from a few years back and most folks don't know about it. Today you can look at some of the buffs and they have a little to much fluff. Are they winning, yes and have been for a while.
