The Imported English Jubilee Orpington Thread

It's my dream bird! I finally have some jubilee orpingtons! Here's my oldest one. Any guesses on male/female?

Roo

What are the clues? I've never raised this color before.

I would say roo also. Our roos have all tended to get a lot of white around the neck and the girls are much darker everywhere.

LOL...okay, I know what you mean. I can do that with some of the breeds I raise....not all, though. Some keep me guessing for a long time. If this was a black copper marans, I'd say "girl" based on the shape of the head. Girl or boy is fine with me.

I would like to encourage you folks to post pictures of your birds on the CSU thread, it is going over Orpingtons right now and we would love to see some of your birds.. It is a great place to learn from some real pros about the finer points and what makes a bird great instead of just average.
