I think you birds are absolutely fabulous.

As long as they are never separated (even overnight ) as they mature, most of the time they will get along.  Once you separate them, even for a short time they will generally (from my own experience) not get a long well when you put them back together.

Good luck!

Thank you for the tip!

I'm pretty new to breeding chickens, so I had a couple of questions for any one of you willing to answer. When you are working on a project, or just trying to improve your line... What do you do with your culls? Also, I want to take some Jubilee Orps to shows... I read somewhere this is how you get the color accepted. Is there anyone else showing them? Lastly, how the heck do you guys get your chickens to pose for pictures! Mine either get beak to lens- or I get a blurry retreating butt. I get so jealous of everyone's beautiful birds.

(Culls) I sell them as meat birds or eat them. I do not sell pets.

Mine never pose for pictures when I want them to pose. These people have magical powers and use eye of newt on themselves.(I am NOT eating it)

Thank you!
That is a very good question. They lay a tan egg like orps, only called legbar orps for the color of the bird.
