The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[nursebettie]

This is my first time having orps, this is Mr. Darcy, my cockerel..... Any feedback for what to improve would be great. I know he is still under a year and has to fill out more.

I was wondering... Out of curiosity... If anyone has any spare chocolate bantam cockerels or roos no older than 1yr old with leg sprigs they would want to sell. The more I look at my chocolates, the more I can see I am going to have an issue with them. I mean, they are not bantams. Mine are ranging between 6-7lbs. I want TRUE bantams. And I'd like 2 of them. A pullet/hen would be nice, too since my 5 straight run were all cockerels and I still don't have a girl.

On the topic of mauves, I wish my blues and blacks would lay already. I have 3 chocolates in with 2 black and 2 blues - LFs. They have to be getting close to the right age.

Wish you would have said something sooner. I just finished selling all my started chocolates.

In my last hatch of last year, I finally got a great cockerel. He has no stubs and all the other faults these guys came with aren't there. I was very lucky since I was dealing with such a small gene pool.

See if Don can sell you something, he got chocolates from me and my business partner and he might still have one with stubs.

Even will all of the shadow he looks nice. Try a different picture with more light and less shadow to really show him off.

Don and I are talking but he has none with leg sprigs. He still may be able to help. Thanks, Jean.
