The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Rock Star -7 Months old today. Comb correcting itself with the weather change. Wings tighter now that he perches at night. I was trying to get a picture of him relaxed so that you can see that he does has a nice back, but when he sees the camera...out comes the chest with shoulders back so his back appears smaller. BTW, look at the underfuff...it is starting to lace up. Those gold lines will be lacing in a couple of months. This will complete the lacing- 100%

My gorgeous God Chicken ! What a boy. The nice thing is that he has stiff main tail feathers too ! He will be spectacular when his tail and lacing finish out. Nice BLACK under fluff which you don't see very often . With that tail he can sire chicklets for the SOP too !

Y'all are so good about putting up with my pictures.



This is Baby. She was the smallest of them all. Turned out to be the biggest. (Fresh animal protein daily- mealworms made her grow! ) She is really hard to photograph since she's ADHD...LOL All the pullets show shafting, but she shows the least. Her neck is laced perfectly and her underfluff is finally lacing too.

Below are Rock Star's girls.


She probably will never lay an egg! She's too hyper! She certainly will never sit still long enough to go broody. However, she's the first to jump in my lap. If I ignore her, and this is the gospel truth, she pulls on my pant leg so that I'll rub her chest. When I stop, she does it again. Just ask Renie's Peeps about Danny. These babies love to be held.

They are so pretty, deek !!!!!

I think this is the nicest feathering and lacing I have seen. Remarkable. That lacing goes all the way down.

Very handsome.

Wow! If this is what meal worms do, I need to start my worm farm pronto! She's gorgeous!
