The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Yes, they will be 5 months old at the end of this month. They are all looking great.

I am so pleased with them! I can hardly wait to see their full growth!

7 months, you say. Well, maybe I should hang on to the other roos for awhile longer then. Honestly, they are HUGE ! ! !

The oldest cockerels i have on the place right now is one 7 month old and the other two are 6 months They look good so until I have some more mature ones I am hanging on to these. I did sell off a few black ones two months ago. I may be sorry. I had so many at one time then out of the same black Cock bird so had to make few decisions for rooms sake. On the blue ones 7 months max
If you look back at the Charlie progression you will see why. What a difference from 5 months to seven

 

[kathyinmo]

I did notice that big change from 5 months to 7 months. I think I will just hang on to all these guys a couple more months. I have a couple blacks that are just huge and looking better every day.

Kathy that cockeral is really nice looking.

Julie's progressive pictures of Charlie sure show why we need to hang onto them for several months. I know I need to, but sometimes unfortunately have to weed thru them sooner than that.....then I always worry I sold the wrong ones!!

Here are some pics of some English Blues that a friend sent me of their birds today. Said I could show them here.
This fellow has nice light blue ground color. My Charlie is related

Look at the lacing on this girl

I need to make myself one of these photography boxes for the good pics.

Gosh, Julie, I don't think there are words to describe those birds. They are unbelievable! The lacing is just awesome. And look at the fluff on that boy!

They're just gorgeous. (Ok, so I found a few words...)
