The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

I don't know why that was so big... but I don't mind, it gets the point across even more. LOL.

Kathy,

Heres my big guy "Dancer". I weighed him and he is 7 lbs 4 oz.

Are you breeding him to LF hens Jean? It shouldn't take too long to get to true LF with him.

I'm making LF AM's....

His brother is over at my "business partner's" house making LF english and I think LF american babies.

Nice. I can hardly wait to get them (chocolates) larger. I just love the type of my pair.

This may be a dumb question... I am sorry if it is.

Is there any English type bantam Orp breeders - other than the rare colors. I am looking into (not saying I want them yet) blacks and blues (I love the lacing on the English Orp blues). I have discovered I prefer small chickens over the big ones. I love English LF and I may get some eventually, but I'd rather start with a couple bantams for my chocolate boys.

I was trying to find English Orp eggs that could be shipped tomorrow (LF), that's why I was asking... Struck out again! I don't see many bantam Orp eggs in general - another reason I asked. Instead, more bantam Cochins and cuckoo Marans to make the OH happy.

Lilac seems a little too, I dunno... prissy?

Will you be breeding for a Mauve cockerel?

We were discussing earlier how there aren't many (any really) pictures of Mauve males online.

How about PUCE

That's as bad as Mauve!

Yall are too funny.
Why don't you call the so called mauve Brown laced blues or Chocolate laced blues.

Kathy I feel the same way about the Lavender color. Give me my blues. I guess I just prefer darker colors.

I think it should just be called Blue Chocolate or blech for short.....
