The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[Shaffer]

Culled, as in killed at a day old for dark legs? Or am I reading that wrong.

No they went to an auction and marked as crossbreed so they don't eventually be used and show up on Ebay auctions.

I finally am able to post pic's..................
This is Dolly, hatch date 4/12/13............I think, need to check again to be certain.
Not a great picture. It does not show the beautiful color coming in her feathers...........
The white on her chest is mud. She did a great job standing still though.........
Love to hear her run on the wet cement..............You know it is an English Orp when you hear thump, thump, thump,
thump running to you............

Cute girl ! What line is she from ?

That is exactly what we do with our culls, for exactly the same reason.

The hens are from Joy's stock.1/2 English I purchased them as day olds about the time Joy started this thread.

I had a lovely rooster that I lost last fall. . On an emotional rebound I purchased a 9 month old Blue Roo sight unseen.
He is very leggy and I kept hoping with good diet and care he may feather out more but..............not happening. Looking for a quality Roo. I am a hobbyist but want to be responsible with my breeding.
Also Orpington crazy...........
