The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[jeremy]

Jeremy seems to think he knows better then the experts when it comes to breeding the English Orpingtons, as time goes on it has been proven his knowledge lacks knowledge and wisdom. Perhaps if he could spend time in Europe he could learn from these experts.

My birds speak to my knowledge about breeding. They are not perfect, but they are a hell of a lot better than some being called "English" out there. Who are you even talking to? You seem to have quoted yourself.







Keep my name out of your mouth @kidcody You dug your own grave selling birds with red leakage to people, that is your mess. Don't be upset because you have been called out for irresponsible breeding time, and time again.

yes, apparently this didn't post with the pics

"So, I'm going to ask this and I may regret it. This hen was hatched in late October of 2014. She roughly 2.5years old now. As a 7 month old pullet everyone seemed to think she was going to be a stunner. As I am still learning, I would opinions.
She is bantam. 2lb, 14oz"

I thought maybe was darker than that are they mauve splash? I am still getting my start in English orps but I love love them!

I want to do right by the breed and only breed for the best birds I can. Does anyone have the SOP they can post? Also photos would be very helpful. Thanks guys.

We currently have chocolates and chocolate cuckoo and a pure english boy and some 50-75% English black pullets and lavenders.

I would like to add more and eventually want to have BBS chocolate and mauves. Also lavenders. And maybe a few single hens of other colors.

the color mauve varies greatly, just like the blue coloration. Mauve can be a very pale chocolate to a dark chocolate to even looking almost like a dirty blue. Mauve splash should be splotchy just like regular splash.

Example, this is my mauve splash pullet.

That's very interesting could an orp that is an off white/cream color be a mauve? We thought she would be mauve but feathered in almost white.

I believe she was a mauve roo over a chocolate cuckoo hen girl. She had three siblings hatched with her all the same color. All sexed pullets lacking head spots I believe.

Any ideas? I also had a cockeral last March that was from the same person and looked the same.
