The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

You picked a good one to compare to, Winston is the daddy to my Elvis, never a problem out of him, Very well mannered & very friendly.

Elvis is a handsome fella. I'm just learning the Orp's I have 6 That I picked up in August there huge my back seems to be a lot more mature feather wise than my blue even though he is quite a bit bigger body wise

Very nice splash Nava. Your boy is so typey. I don't blame you for spreading his genes around. I am interested to see what splash over black will produced compared with the Black over splash.
I can get on every once in awhile. My DSL line has been up and down since that rain storm last week. I took some pics that are so cute and everytime I get online and then try to go from one site to the next I loose connection again.

This is Sweetie, Dee. She and I am saying She. Acts like a girl here at 7 days old but if a cockerel I can call him Sweetie too.

Okay managed to get one pic on. I am trying to get more but it just isnt letting me

Definitely a sweetie!

Looks like a pullet. The other chick...not so sure, might be a cockerel. BTW, I've always had my temp at 99.5 -100 and all I get are boys. The only solution is to be graced with a hen that produces pullets! Do they even exist?

That was a great tour of Winston from young to now..and Elvis Is one of my favorite chickens ever..

There is nothing like a Julie tour of babies with the morning coffee.

They are starting to show nice pattern, though I do not like the white shoulders in the smaller male chick..
