The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

He said it was EE. He is the developer of the lavs in the US. (Orpingtons and LF Ameraucanas)

I do know of somebody in Georgia with really lovely BBS Orps that lay olive eggs.

So would that mean that mainly birds with American lines would possibly have that trait? Maybe those from English lines would not?
Do not the SOPs also dictate egg color?

Hi. I have gold laced orps, chocolate orps , bantam jubilee orps and I just got a roo and hatching eggs that are spangled/mottled orps from my friend Louise ( kidcody). I love my roo. I named him William, after prince William

How cool! My buff cockerel is named Prince Harry, after, you know, Prince Harry.

But I mainly just call him Harry. After all, he's got the right hair color and he might never be a king but he's for sure a Royal! LOL

I think the English orps are very majestic and regal. Royal names are very suited to them. I have many different colors of Cochins also, but my favs by far are my orpingtons.

Mama's been busy. There are at least 3, she won't get up. I think she's waiting for one of the same species to hatch.

[Goose and Fig]
