The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[boykin2010]

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Don, I have searched for bantam Spangled Orpingtons but I cannot seem to find any. If I can't find any in the UK, I doubt there are any in the US. However, they shouldn't be too hard to create if you can source some Bantam Jubilees.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I listed my first Spangled Orpington chicks up for auction on Rarebreed. I don't think I am allowed to post the link (correct me if I am wrong) but I wanted to post here as several of you had contacted me about purchasing chicks.
I probably will not be auctioning any more until Fall.

Here are some pictures of the proud Papa and his chicks.

I'd love to see some pictures of your hens, too!

I have some photos now, they are just are not very good. This horrible rainy weather we have is not letting me go take better pictures. It has been raining for a week!
The hen pictured on my website (that belongs to Sandra Hildreth) is the exact look-alike to the hen I have. Then I have another hen with a little more white than the one pictured and I am crossing with my Jubilees

She no longer has the bantams as far as I know. They are hard to come across.

Just wondering, it would be nice to see their type, too.
