My Black EO's just keep getting prettier every day

this is my first time owning English Orps but in my opinion they have great body types but I dont have a keen eye for flaws in this breed yet...though I do have a personal body type preference I like big, round and fluffy ...so I need someone with a more experienced eye to tell me if there are any flaws with my EO's and if so what are the flaws and how do I improve them? I am trying to breed to the English standard

Henry...he is HUGE I wish I had something to weigh him on but I would say he weighs at least 10 LBS already and he is only about 5 months old....how big are they supposed to get?...I cant imagine him getting any bigger but I know he will.






my trio

Yiou need to show that boy here in the US !

ok got a few pics...it got dark before I could get any good ones but you can still see their body type.


she has the body type I like the most...not sure if it is the correct body type..but like it



same as above


here they are together....the one with the best body type in my opinion is the one with the red dot over her head...I am not going by any standard of perfection, it is just my opinion..."red" has a shorter back, rounder tail and body and shorter legs...."blue"has a longer back, upright tail, round body, and longer legs. not sure which one is "more perfect" but I like "red" the most.

Show those girls too !

I just love checking in. So many pretty birds to enjoy while I sip my coffee.

Below is Mad Max @ 29 weeks. He's getting his turn with the ladies. Keeping my fingers crossed. This boy is "giganimous". His chest lacing is complete now and am waiting to see what happens with his underfluff lacing, which is always a bonus. He was in the middle of grooming himself when I took this picture. He normally holds his wings up close and tight. His comb hasn't flopped!

May I pretty, please have the young lady in the last picture? Pretty, please? Tell her I have some Southern Gentlemen that I'd like to introduce her to.

So can we breed one that looks like this?

No really, I just painted this Friday after looking at all these beauties. Especially Renie's Midas.


Thanks for the inspiration guys. I see a series based off English Orps in my future.
