The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[Domerdoc]

I'm so upset that a fox ate 4 of my black orpingtons and 2 guinea hens. The darn fox came out in broad daylight and snatched them. The kids saw the fox and they started screaming. We only have one sweet lonely black orpington hen and 9 guineas left. I want to get more orpingtons. If anyone knows where I can get some sweet, fluffy, friendly orpingtons, please let me know. I would prefer more blacks or buffs or whites. The exotic colors are beautiful but seem to be too expensive. I live in Rhode Island so a local person would be great.

Hi

New to the thread but thought I'd better get amped up on my Orp knowledge.

Have always had the standard production Buffs and have loved them, but have now delved into the English blues and the lavs. This past week couldn't pass up on the English bantam chocs.

Looks like this thread will be a well used tool, and I know, from the other threads, great people are on this site!!

a lovley blue from Roger..I think its a she , but I am just not sure yet..little more time will tell..Roger babies have slightly higher comb..harder for me to tell early..loving being out..the other 2 are in the heated hut with some of the others..its chilly out this morning..







Nellies amazing whites mixed with aster lorps..that were a gift from hupp farms.. these babies as they get older are like a living art work. just beautiful.
