Banjoe, there are folks contacting me by pm wanting Mottled Orps. I hope they see this as I don't have any. So glad we have this color in the states now.

About 3 or 4 years ago I was working on a Mottled project but my genes were crazy
This hen here looked like this and then she molted and was completely black and then molted and was more traditionally mottled. The next time she molted black again

This was one of her offspring

This was another offspring of the above hen bred to her son

Then there was this one that hatched black and turned this color. He was going to be a pretty boy till a dog came in my yard and killed him before I could get to him. Tore the heart out of my project and I just gave up and sold all of them. I do love the color though. Like I said the gene I had was not very normal

Here is my youngest blue pullet Im thinking about showing in April, she looks a lot better on the yard without the sun directly on her, the pic is not a very good one.

Flawless as usual Julie. Your birds truly are spectacular.

X100. I just absolutely lose my breath when Julie posts pics of those babies!
