I had to pull my lighter out and check you on that one Roger. Hey, that is pretty huge. You know I need some black hens really bad. I hope this was a blue. LOL

My first Red Orp Chick is growing. It's not the best lighting for a pic. But, it's in the ugly stage none the less. I'm thinking it's a roo.

Looks like she's studying to be an architect or engineer

My only English Orpington. A cockerel hatched 6/30/12. I really love his shape and temperment. He is a sweetheart. I like his dark eyes and his wide load.

And lastly, shakin out his tail feathers after a healthy, loud cock-a-doodle-doo!

Feel free to toss your thoughts on this guy my way. I'm VERY open to learning. What type traits should I look for in a hen to pair up to him...
