The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[Brandi Leigh]

Orpingtons make lovely lawn ornaments!

Just a beautiful breed. Particularly the hens.

I agree, it's fast becoming my favorite past time- very pretty whites by the way! I am learning a new appreciation for the whites since I got sent the ones from GFF. I really didn't want them to begin with, but after loosing 1 each of the partridge, red & white babies the first few days after getting them I decided to go on & keep the white to see how they turned out. It looks like of the 3 remaining whites only 1 is a pullet, but she is sooo cute!

thanks..im blessed with them..i love their beautiful bowl shape..and tight wing carriage..not sure quite what the germans did here..but they sure knew how to build the house..i dont think they are much capable of barn blindness...they kind of laugh at my color nit pick..they told me, , you americans need to just buy a car , worry about things you dont need to..they think its funny...i get eye rolling smileys a lot..i will say what about this slight smut feather..i get the rolling eye..hee hee..learned to just relax a little.and enjoy it..they are very immature birds yet..i am just enjoying the ride now..learned a LOT over this last year from some very good and generous people..rolling eye smiley and all.....
they uncomplicated it ..vickie has some of thebest tips ever.

i ask questions like, i see people mix this color with that color with another color to get white..he said no..use this color only 1 ce and only for stubborn issue wwith this color..when you throw that many together on a palate..what you wind up with is mud..you need to try something revolutionary..so revolutionary that its unheard of..breed white to white in this line bet you,ll get white.those things will get worked out over time..everythingis there, correct beak color, leg color ..i dont mind being picked on..i dont know , thats why i ask...

And lastly a few bad shots of the BBS chicks I got the other day. They really are pretty, but I could't get decent pics of them b/c of the bourbon reds!

Does anyone have any idea how much a crele orpington would cost? And why cant i post an add as i have over 20 posts. ??? We will be selling creles and jubilees and reds soon and i need to be able to post. Thanks

the price is set based on quality of the birds and rarity of the color so before pricing your birds you should love them over for faults and defects because not all offspring will be show/breeder quality " witch are worth the most " you will have some that are pet quality or project stage and may still be beautiful birds not worth as much as show quality or breeder quality birds

as for the crele a ture import crele is woth a lot but must of the "crele " you see are not true crele but are buff x cuckoo projects and well never be true crele

I do not know the quality of your birds or where they came from but if the "crele" you have for sell are out of the bird you have in your avatar pic then I very sorry to tell you but that is not a crele it looks like a American project bird from buff x cuckoo breeding

the fancy chick -- rockenpaints has some great crele she also has done a lot of work on " project type crele " if I was serious about razing crele I would suggest you contact her she should be able to help explant to you the difference between crele and project buff x cuckoo

not trying to upset anyone
