The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

A delicate flower at 174 lbs (though I do keep him lean). Male runt of his litter (dad is 260, brothers are all > 200). And now that I've bonded about giant dogs, I'll post a chook pic, LOL! Here are my splash chicks attacking the fresh dust bath (for some reason they seem to like it MUCH more than the other colors).

Awww, lovely!

And they just keep getting better.  If they are not what you expected at 6 or 8 months, give them a little time.  By the time they are a year or year and a half they will be BEAUTIFUL.  I have noticed in mine some are late bloomers while some begin to fluff at a couple months .

The Mottled's we got from Louise (Autumn Farm Orps) are looking gorgeous!
And the Partridge we just got from you- and the Isabel's.

Mottled are at the top of my list for next go-around. I'm hoping I end up with enough blue/splash pullets to swap one for a mottled with a local member who just got a whole bunch.

We love ours, we are working with three different lines of Mottled Orpingtons.

thank you - your birds look lovely! You are in Ohio right? It looks like I will need to find a Partridge Orp rooster as I am thinking I have 3 pullets - the next few weeks will tell I guess. The Red Orps look like 2 cockerels and a pullet so far.

If you are were directing the question to me, yes I am in Ohio and we do accept Canadian orders, however, for day old chicks only

. Otherwise we usually have plenty Partridge cockerels.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

sorry, rockinpaints I was referring to tnbearchick. I was answering on my phone and didn't realize it didn't include the quote.

blooming technology! Actually looking at the map, tnbearchick, I guess youre in tennessee or Texas! I am really hoping someone on this thread in Canada (and preferably Vancouver Island or BC) also has some of these lovely birds because I already know I will be wanting to breed them. thank you both for responding!
