The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Another blast from the Past.
Here are the blue Orps I had worked on several yrs before I had Charlie and bred him to these.

My first English Roo Charlie in his first breeding season. He was about 11 month old here. He has always been Regal

Great pix everyone.

I just wanted to say that I have ordered saddles twice from Lovemychix. The first set I ordered fit my American Orps just fine, but they were way too small for my English girls. I sent her a PM and she made the second order of saddles to the specific size that I requested and they work great !!

Thanks Julie, just wish he was a little more easier on the girls.

Julie, Charlie has always been a handsome guy hasn't he?

Jeremy he has and I am happy to say a good friend of mine has him and by AI ing him she is still getting chicks off him. He is four yrs old this year and I think that is amazing. I know many of you if you have kept your top boys for long know they get very picky and will only breed certain girls who are their favs and then they are not as inclined to breed as much.
I have never tried to AI but it does make sense to keep good genes going. I think I would have to have a in person demo. I have watched videos and I still don't think I would know if I was doing it right.
Maybe if I can get to nationals this yr she can give a demo to all of us who need help in this area. I think it would be helpful for projects too.
