What a pretty boy Dee, and so many beautiful blacks on here today.

I got a few pics I will post shortly.......Really haven't gotten any good ones since winter set in. But I took a few in the barn

not as pretty as out side photos.....But the chicklets are just as perdy

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!

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.

Holy Cow... that is really cool!!!

looking good so far...I wonder if they breed better than the jubilee...I know with the jubilee sometimes you can get almost solid birds even though the parents were nicely marked.

What I have seen with mine is that after their first molt they have much more white. I will try to look up some before and after photos. Has any one else seen that?
