No, I guess my pictures do make him kinda make him look brown, I plain stink with a camera.

There was also an aweful sun expo in my way so made my stinky photography that much worse. Believe me, he is definitely black!

Took a few updated photos as I try and decide who to keep who to go.
Of course this girl is a hen from last year and she is huge and a keeper. Her color is great.

here is a young girl and her friend perching in the cool of the evening

Here is one of my pretty young 5 month old blacks. She is a very typey girl. Hope to show her in Jan or Feb

Here is a young dark blue 7 month cockerel that is so very typey. Haven't made my mind up to part with him yet.
Sorry for the blurry pics. I have got to sit down and reajust my camera again

This young pullet is six months old and one of my favorites

Another cockerel

Isn't this one gorgeous. He will be 7 months old this week

Next is a six month old pure English girl

Albert and his massive comb
Wide fellow

How is that for some Sunday nite entertainment? I have a few more if photobucket will cooperate

Happy Halloween, Joy, Julie, and everyone!


Wow, Julie ..... Albert is soooo massive that his comb hardly looks too big anymore!
I love the girls! They are just stunning!

Ya know, in most breeds the female gets rather ignored (re looks), because the roosters are so pretty. In English Orps it is simply not the case! LOVE those girls!

Wow that is great Irene. I have got folks calling me right and left wanting trios and pairs. I just can't keep them all to grow out stage. I wish i had enough to supply everyone that wanted some. Best bet is to do like you and some others did and grow them out yourself and you have choices. Some of the ones I have seen from my flock look better than the ones I have and i am so happy for every one that has a nice bird. Hope they are able to reproduce them.

Julie - Albert is AWESOME - he needs a wide load sign and back-up beeper. WOW They are all stunning - must be hard at times deciding who gets to stay.

I love looking at everyones pictures, so I thought I would post a few of my girl. She's 1 1/2 months now and getting big! I can't believe all of the bottom fluff she has - I'm not sure the proper word for it!
