The Imported English Jubilee Orpington Thread

This one is pure fancy chick. I'm really hoping for pullet so it looks good so far

The males do tend to get more white on them than the females. We have grown out Greenfire, Heirloom and a combination of the two and it generally holds true. I have seen a couple of pullets who have a lot of white at an early age but 98% of the time, white at 6-7 weeks indicates male.

Here is a better pic. Any ideas of boy/girl? I'd appreciate it

Looks like a pullet to me. I have some that are colored this way. My males have a lot of white. I also have a pullet that's colored differently. I thought for awhile that she was a boy because she wasn't as dark as the others, but it's a pullet. Is there a difference among the different lines here in the US?

They will be stunning... Best to you and your Jubilee...

Definitely girl.

Oh that is the best news! This is the only one that hatched originally . And with the odds, I figured it would end up a boy.

I can relate to this. Hatching jubilees from shipped eggs has not been good. My first hatch resulted in 2/8 but thankfully I got a pullet and a cockerel - both beautiful birds. The second hatch only got 1/10 and the third hatch got 0/10 - both egg shipments came from same breeder which I will obviously not use again. One more egg shipment comes in to day from the first breeder in which I had two hatch so I will be hoping for better.

I have a special going on with chicks. $30 for Jubilees, $5 for Splashes + shipping. You can see pics of them on Facebook Pheonix Farms, also there is a contest going on for 6 chicks (asst. SR) shipped if anyone is interested.

Hello JO Experts - I just posted this thread to the gender/sex forum but though I would link it here as I have learned so much about my JOs reading this forum. Many thanks!
