The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[delisha]

Thank you for all the complements on my Gold laced..I can't take credit for him. He was bred by Nellie. I simply get to enjoy him. At 7 months old I think he will get better and better. He is so sweet and loves people.

My baby is turning into a really nice cockerel. ..10.6 lbs yesterday.

this is a nice bird. Walt

I like him too,is he blue or black based? I do not know much about them but his fluff looks blue, I have seen some on the UK sites that say blue laced and black laced.

Some time ago Alton sent me 2 GLB x Black Orpington pullets. I lost my dear sweet GLB roo, Danny, a short time ago. I have nothing to breed these girls to but thought you guys might like to see them.

That's a tough one. Mostly says Pullet but something about the stance and attitude (yep and feathers) say cockerel. If it were mine I'd be throwing my hands up and waiting for an egg or a crow.

Cocker doodle doo. The wing bow and tail coverts look longer than they do round. I'm 50% sure :0)

yes I know she was, as was I, the nice thing about this thread is everyone usually keeps it civil

I dont want to see the Imports bred down to the American sop though. other threads for that project.

Not to worry...I keep a 100% English line, as well as my SOP crosses for show. If you're going to show in this country, you have to adhere to APA's SOP.
