Mine are not is show shape but I brought them anyway since i had scheduled to show. I wanteda good turn out. Saw the best pair of Buff bantam Orps I have ever seen. Brought here by Charles Login. They truly look like minature Orps.. I have met some really nice folks tonite. I will post photos tomorrow when I get home. I am not looking to win or place. I think I know who is going to win but I will tell you if I am right tomorrow. Hopefully I can get some decent picsl The lights are not great for photo taking

I thought I would share some photos I took this weekend of some of my imported orpingtons. It has been hard for me to take pictures of the birds as much as I would like with the time change. It gets dark way to quick!

First, here is one of my chocolate roosters:



And, one of my chocolate hens:




One of my Lavender barred. The rooster:




And one of my silver laced hens:

Lovely ROUND laced feathers on your silver laced.

This is a photo of a TEN WEEK old trio I shipped off this week. The pullet on the right is out of a SOP hen by Monty, my imported EBO K. Please compare her to my avatar.I think she will be a force to be reconed with next year, after she finishes getting her main tail, since her comb is an improvement on her mother's. Thank you Monty ! She will be shown.

Bryce your birds look to have good shape. Look forward to future pics.

I took a few photos. They don't do the birds justice. Well I was totally wrong on who they picked both times they judged. I though sure a American Standard bird would take it a really nice buff who I will later show a pick of but Both times it was the blues whoooo hoooo. 19 LF Orps shown.
This is a pic of one of my blue girls who got BB BV first round

This is her too. just not holding her tail up purty. She is tired of this stuff by the time I took this one. I did get her pic made in a photo box and they supposed to email it to me.

Another blue won BB and BV and REserve English on the second judging. She was a pretty blue girl shown by a lady named El from Tenn. She told me she bought the bird from Darlene Hobbs. Darlene would have to say if she has some of Joys line in her or not.

This is her girl that won BV in the blacks both judgings

Another pic of El's Blue girl. She isnt holding her tail up either at this point

Another photo of the above black girl owned by El

This is a black hen I carried and she didn't get anything. First round disqualified for stubs and I did find one after I looked again. She got a 1 on the second round but oh well. She is pretty and i will check them better next time. I brought the ones with the cleanest butts. None were really in shape to show to me since they are just finishing up their molt
This is a close up of her

This is her again

Photobucket is giving me fits tonite. I will post these and then do a few more
