I would love to have Buffs of that quality.

Or worse like not culling the ones that should be culled and breeding back all that you hatched from your 6 egg purchse. I am really leary anymore about ads that put the lineage in the first few words.

Did anyone see the article in Practical Poultry (UK magazine) page 8 in January issue. It seemed to have a lot of good info about proper english Orp type

I am collecting eggs off this trio to check fertility on. I just love the type on this boy who is about to be 9 months old this month. He should finish out well along with the pullets he is in with. They just recently started laying.

This is his backside. He as a beautiful tail. I just can't seem to get a decent pic in a small pen

Julie - he looks fabulous !! His color looks to be wonderful, too.

 

[BamaChicken]

Thanks Joy. I am looking forward to seeing what his offspring look like.

Gorgeous, Julie! Looks like a bulldozer with a black saddle. Yours always have perfect combs too.

 

[BamaChicken]

His comb is definitely not perfect Matte. I do have a black or two with great combs. He is a what i consider a great breeder bird.

But I do appreciate the compliment

I'd never get any work done at your house Julie, I'd do nothing but waste the days away staring at beautiful birds!

Is that the same boy with the short back that I thought was a Black before?

You know, my incubators are still running...
