This is the picture that won me over. This is NOT my bird, nor my Pic. It was posted at the beginning of this thread by Bama and is what lead my to pursue English birds. In my opinion, THIS is what is so good about English Orps. Now if I could ever be so lucky to get one of my blues this round...I would be one happy lady..

Me Too. I have never had my blue imports look that good. He is awesome

Quote: yeah I got a Hova Bator last year and it works like a charm it holds 41 eggs and early next spring I plan to start filling it up I am going to hatch nearly every egg I get until late April then I will start selling hatching eggs.
next year I also need to get another line of BBS orps...I think I will get some from Irene I really like the way hers look and recently I am liking the orps that have a bit of american blood in them to give them that tighter feathering.

There are many Americans who are filled with self-loathing who feel that anything from another country is automatically superior to it's American counterpart. Then there are those who are motivated by the need to have something different or unusual. The desireability lies in their having something few others have.

I don't know anyone who feels like that. The desire I had to get the imported Orps was strictly because I adore how they look not so I could have something someone else didn't have so I refuse to be put in that box
I simply love , feel awed, by the way they look. It may be hard for you to understand if they don't move you that way. I don't feel they are superior to American Orps and if they move you that way(American orps) I am so happy for you and hope have one just like you like. I felt that way(Awed) about Bearded silkies until I saw the Orpingtons. I still like silkies and I have never seen one in UK pictures that I thought looked like the ones I enjoyed so much over here. . You don't know me and I don't know you so cant we just respect each others difference in preference without lumping folks into categories.

No self loathing here. I just like the REAL Deal I feel that Americans change breeds of EVERYTHING to make it American. Americans inbreed animals to uselessness and ruin breeds with their lack of care I do not loath America but I guess maybe I loath some individuals that are Americans.

Besides who could resist this guy

I don't know what it is about this guy, but he dosent do it for me. I like Thedragonlady's imported roo much better. I guess they have to have some semblance of a neck for me.

I don't have any gripes with American breeders or english ones. We all like what we like. It is a fact that the english type orpingtons are more popular right now. I'm sure it irks some, and makes other's happy but that's just the way things go. I am unhappy about where America took their quarter horses- but there is nothing I can do about it.

I personally like the imported look over the American SOP look.
