I've had a few Orpingtons in the past. Now, I'm really getting into this breed and plan to have flocks of show quality buff, lemon cuckoo, and lavender (self blue) soon. The lemon cuckoo and self blue will be from English blood. The buff are American. I have a question for some of the experienced Orpington breeders. What do you recommend for raising them? What protein rations are best at the different ages? Any other suggestions? Thanks a million!!!

I can't wait to see the outcome from these to the English Rooster. Don has very nice Orps. WOW

These 6 week and 5 week olds by Monty out of SOP hens might give you an idea. That makes them 50% English. There are 12 0f them to try to round up.

Here are Monty's and Mrs. Pumphry's !00% English Buff Orp.3 and 4 week old chicks out for the first time with their proud sire.

Notice my monofilament hawk deterrent? It was a lot of work, but the whole orchard is covered. We've had a pair of Bald Eagles and a pair of Red Tails about for the last few weeks, but they stay away for the 40 lb test lines, after one apparently boomeranged off of it. There is a tall pole in the center of the orchard, and those lines are strung from it, to my 8 foot tall fence a foot apart.

Monty looks proud watching over the babies.
