The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[Blarneyeggs]

This is my 4 mos old Eng Orp Pullet roosting in the rafters of the run with the leghorns. It's about 8 feet up. I'll be darned if I know how she gets up there. I'm actually more surprised that they let her stay, as the Leghorns are at the top of the pecking order and she is pretty much at the bottom. But there you have it. I took the picture just this week knowing this set up can't last much longer as she gets bigger. Doesn't she have the sweetest face ever?

You should just ask my 4 yr old grand daughter.... Today... she and I were out front looking at the English buffs and Juls.... She points at the two young roos and she says.... "Granny those two are roosters" I said.. Oh yeah?? How do you know?... She says "Cuz I am good that way" AND she was right about those two being the roos. ")

I wanna get a boy like in your Avatar. Did he father any of the eggs????

He is in the coop... that is Levi... he is 3/4 English. He is older now but is still a Lady's man.

Looks like I will be getting three 75% English LF Orp girls on Friday. One blue and two blacks. I will let 2 of my bantam chocolates have them as girlfriends.

Hello everyone! Here is one of my Renie'sPeeps chicks... about 3-4 months old. Boy or girl? Thanks for the help. I thought boy at first but now I am thinking girl.

Looks like a pullet to me. In my experience cockerels have much bigger/redder combs and noticeable gender feathers at that age.

By 3 months old you should see a much bigger comb and wattle. My girls are 17 weeks old and look the same.
