The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Could you make this girl a bib.......

She dips her chest and petticoat in everything (but I love her!).

Nellie she is magnificent.

Box her up and send her to me, will you? I'll use her with my BBS to improve type and get that great head in my line.

WOW, RedRainer!

That blue is spectacular!  I'd love to get some eggs out of that stock, but I'm in South Mississippi.... in my experience, I've had MUCH better luck hatching out shipped eggs from close locations than from those on the west coast.  Just too many postal employees rattling the cages between the west coast and here .  Anyone with quality English BBS east of the MS with eggs?  Seems I remember ?BamaLady? in Dothan Al, with BBS orps a couple years ago?

Looking at the threads and ebay, it seems Gold Laced orps are the flavor of the month (or Jubilees).  Personally, I don't care for the Jubilees, but I could also be satisfied with some quality GL orps (if they have nice lacing).

Oh, @heirloomorps
 my little kids are dying for some quality silkies.... I need a dozen of your whites after checking out your webpage

I may just have to change my plans (from a single coop with 35'x 35' run to 2 coops with runs half the size )

I have had others get pretty good hatches when I shipped them eggs. I try to include enough extras that you get a good hatch. I also pack them so they cant move in the box. I cant stand the PO and they way they handle things... you can write whatever you want on that box...they wont read it... would love to ship a box that said fragile handle with care, do not stack all over and a camera recording its journey...

Thanks Nellie ! And I don't really sew, but my girls are too wide to fit every saddle I've tried. My saddles are 14-15 inches wide, from side to side, so as to cover all the area between the wing and the petticoats.After this weekend, all the boys will be put up, and the saddles come off the girls, as it will be too hot for them to wear them.They have done their job though. I'm showing a huge pullet this weekend who has been wearing one. Gotta think about the bibs.......

Ewe Crazy (Bryce) does not have BBS.

he has just about everything else though! I will have blues (eggs) around the end of April, right now have a pen of all blacks. Will be moving some around and have a pen of BBS.

one of my blues

This is the type of lacing I love to see on Blues, and her type is just lovely as well.

She reminds me a lot of my Elizabeth, she's out of Joy's Winston too, right?


ETA: Your girl has better color though, that perfect dove Blue.

her mother was by Joys Winston, I still have her, she lays an egg now and then when it suits her lol I love the lighter blue like she is, your girl is nice too, I dont like when they get to dark, have one that is borderline dark for me.

Thank you Jeremy. In all the years I have had chickens she is my all time favorite, the sweetest girl on earth

(she does stay dirty all the time, and boy does she love to eat

).

A couple "incidental" pics. The first picture I was actually taking it of the Delaware Orp,
but look behind him at the Chocolate Orp hen....

These guys were a little nosy at the fence watching me take pics of the chickens....

Wow stunning
