The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Oh my goodness - look at that crop on Winston! If it was any larger, I don't think he could stay on his feet.

Kathy - Do yours have that big ole barrel chest too? I remember posting a photo of Winston when he was younger a while back and somebody advised me that I needed to check his crop because it looked like something was stuck in it.

I know exactly what you are saying! That is no crop ..... that is chest there! I checked!

Honestly, the difference in these English Orps versus our American Orps is VERY apparent from day 1. It is just amazing, I think.

I'll try to get some W&C growth progression photos on here this evening.

Indeed those are some pretty big chests on such little chicks !! Please keep taking pictures of them as they grow and post....we can watch them grow up. I need to get some new pictures of my chicks that just hatched recently too.

I added a couple more pictures above. I will go outside and get pictures of the other ones you sent me, Joy (sometime today).
