The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Thanks! That's good to know. I just separated some breeder pens and paired black x splash and blue x blue. Already second guessing myself. These are all really similar in size and type, so I'm nitpicking the color combos now.

Take a look at this site. It is in Hungarian, so no clue what it is saying, but gorgeous birds

Beautiful pictures on the Hungarian site and not just the birds. Though loved the type; wide and round and deep. Could even apply that description to their heads. Lovely, lovely stock. Thanks to all who helped clarify what the jubilee pattern is like live and up close. There is a poultry historian who says the color predates even the Sussex as there were Dorkings that color. It's beautiful on the UK type Orp and I'm glad we're getting to see some.

You can use google translate to translate the whole webpage, but you have to pull out the seperate webpages because it only translates one. Here is the standard http://www.leonberger-hunde.ch/Orpington/Standard.htm

Thanks Marc. When I was Googling, it said the site was Hungarian.

Regardless - German or Hungarian - they have some gorgeous birds. I like the dogs too !!
