The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

I could not find the add..they must have taken it off, or I am pretty bad at finding stuff on ebay...more than likely the latter.

The very sad part is that the auction is at $4.50 for Max's bloodline :0( shhhhh...let's not tell my big boy that. I think he's priceless.

Did ebay pull it off? I did not see any GL eggs.

Whats is supposed to be wrong with it ?
Maybe its been peaceful cause I have been gone for a while ?

Roger,

You have never made trouble here that I know of. We love seeing your birds.

That Blue P has rolls of uncovered skin on her front. Is that normal for your line ? I've maybe just never seen it before.

He took down his gold lace, but didn't take down any of the others.

Just type in crele orpington in the search box and his auction is the only result.

Ebay is a great source for people who don't know about the other auction site, but it's becoming more congested with scammers than ever. I have called a few ebayers trying to sell hatching eggs from GGF stock in colors they never sold (BBS). I was even scammed recently by a person who seems to have a continuous listing. He contacted me through my personal email wanting to trade eggs. We spoke via phone, email and text for over a month before I considered it. He had lines I was interested in and in blue to boot, which I am sadly lacking. I asked for pictures and he referred me to his ebay listing. I communicated through ebay to make sure it was him and a little over month ago he called to tell me he was on his way to the post office to ship my eggs. I promptly shipped him eggs on the same day and have been cut off from communication since. I know he received my eggs, but I received nothing. No response to my emails, texts or calls. First time being scammed, so I was really upset. I guess I still am, so beware of a wolf in chicken feathers from Cedartown, GA...

Genetics: 1) Does the Roo or the Hen pass on the coloring?
2) If the Roo then how can he pass the color and the barring?

well you can take this for what its worth...i just had a very long conversation with a german show breeder not long ago..he told me that they think just a little in this direction..and nothing is foolproof...but they base this on much of the bird world..use the best colored males ..the male is more dominant passing colors, and feather issues..choose very typy females as they are more dominemt in passing body type to the offspring..so the wider deeper larger females preferred..the combs will come out 50 50... but you will get larger % typy birds with better color..the female should be an asset to the color ....and.visversa..
