The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[TNBEARCHICK]

I am really happy with the way this blue boy is growing out he is only 6 months old, I need to get a weight on him, but i would say 12 lbs. just by picking him up.

He has nice lacing and I like his color, a very wide, deep chest...the only thing that I am not the biggest fan of, is his tail, it is a bit to long for my liking but I have some pullets that should correct that.

What do you guys think of him is he a keeper? He is not full English but he is more than 50% I'd say more like 75-80% English. But I will be breeding him to some very nice 100% English pullets this next spring.

Absolutely gorgeous bird.

I've been told my rooster is American... but I've seen many American orpington rooster and he doesn't look like one to me. Opinions?

Very good lookin boy, what kind is he?

 

[delisha]

I do not know what he is..he has a split tail and is an unusual color ..As long as you like him that is all that matters, I am sure he makes a wonderful pet.

He's a splash. He just went through an ugly molt, his tail feathers are usually gorgeous

Ther is a line of the American that are very large. I know that I had some one time. They almost are as big as the English. My splash was given away I almost regret it. But to many roos in one coop does not work to well.
