I posted a couple of photos of the Laced Orps on the Indiana thread. I'd post them here too, but I always feel like I shouldn't post photos here on Atlas' thread

They are looking really nice. I wonder if the lighter or darker is more correct? Or are they both?

Love that tote! I'm a bag collector - I have a ton of them, all filled with half finished UFO's. But I still keep collecting when I see a good bag. Keep us informed if you make more.

Oldhenlikesdogs, seeing the inside, now I have even worse shed-envy!!!

I will and I plan to do several.

I lOVE that bag!!!!

Thank you!

You can post them here. We talk about everything on this thread, didn't you notice? LOL.

The person I got them from said that the darker ones end up with a thicker lacing on their feather as adults and the lighter ones have a thinner lacing. She wasn't sure if there was a preferred. I did see some of the dark ones as adults that look totally different than these kiddos do now.

Oh...and one of the big things I can find is that the lacing is supposed to be "crisp".

I think these are all silver laced orpingtons.

I had thought the first looked good laced, but pictures can be deceiving, so can my old lady eyes.

It will be interesting to see how they end up.

This is what my gold laced orps looked like at about one year old.
