The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[Renie'sPeeps]

Ok in my opinion.... If you are going to use someone else's photo/ bird to promote sales of your own chicks/eggs..Then I feel it is only right to give the breeder/owner of that bird credit in your publication as well. That way... nobody feels misled.

I also would like to add...You are the breeder of the next generation once the birds you bought begin to produce...at least that is the way it is in the dog world. It is up to you as the breeder to continue improving. After all the perfect chicken hasn't been hatched yet. So for good, bad, or in different... please post pictures of your own birds when applicable.

All,

We have been working extremely hard to get our new website up and running and anyone who has ever attempted this feat understands the amount of information and detail that has to be compiled in order to bring a site to life. Please forgive the oversight of not crediting Orpingtons Galore for the wonderful photo of her Legbar (Crele) Orpington Rooster located on our website. With the site just "going live" 3 days ago, this was an error on our part and has been corrected. This bird in this photo however is directly related to our parent stock and we felt it important to show the viewer the coloration and size of an adult Legbar Roo as our own birds are still filling out and recovering from a molt. We will continue to review the site and appreciate everyone's patience.

Sounds good I would love to get some of those silver laced from you sometime

My two cents...which are worth one cent

.

I understand that when someone misrepresents their property it enrages people and on a personal level are hurt by the infraction. Misrepresentation is sometimes a marketing strategy, unfortunately. How many times have we been told that a wrinkle cream will make us look younger? Or that their artwork is their own. This is unfortunate. Feelings are hurt, reputations are questioned, and sometimes even law suits come into action. Sometimes even over principal and not monetary loss.

What I don't see often, are those that publicly admit that a mistake was made AND take steps to correct it. Boykin has done that.

I guess I'm a "glass half full" kinda girl and am willing to believe him. I created our college's first online foreign language course. Three years later, I was still making changes. A team of eyes looked at the program. I thought I had dotted all the "i's" and crossed all my "t's".

Our Buff Laced Whites are growing up! Once again not the greatest pictures in the barn but nobody wants to go out in the SNOW (including me!).

OK my own pictures of my own birds

.....(yes I just had to say it......)





And the whole Blue gang!

Wow Nellie ! I admire you for taking on the BLW project. When you get those right, and I'm sure you will, they will be spectacular.

Very pretty birds Nellie!

They are Blue based though, correct? They appear Splash to me. Do you plan on outcrossing to White Orps in the future to create a (genetically) true Buff Laced White bird? It could be done using Gold Laced and White birds. Then you wouldn't have to deal with the color leakage from the Blue breeding.

They're technically know as "splash" of a breeding of blue to blue (patterned). In this case they are Blue Laced Gold to Blue Laced Gold. I'm not sure the lacing can be perfected like the buff laced in the BLRW. Does anyone know?

The way Bob Follows explained it: from BYC February 2nd 2012

"What we call buff laced here in the U.K. and they call buff laced white in europe, which explains the colour better, buff with white lacing, carries two copies of the blue gene as does splash and pyle which is produced from two blue partridge parents, any mating of blue to blue whether it be cuckoo, partridge, laced or any other pattern will produce a percentage of offspring carrying two copies of the blue gene ie: splash, if buff white laced is mated to gold/buff black laced all offspring will be laced blue, I hope this clears any confusion"


(Was it OK if I did that
