The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[suntex01]

Hey,
Does anyone have a bantam chocolate or black that they can sell? My disappeared one day from my backyard a few weeks back and I think I may have found its remain along with the remains of another animal...I'm thinking a possum or raccoon. I have no idea what happened, my security cameras didn't catch the incident. And my hens have been going broody on non-fertile eggs.
I really miss the docile temperament of the English roosters, totally different from the American ones I hatched.

She's most definitely a WYANDOTTE. Look at the rose comb. Not an Orp.

Agreed

Could I get some opinions on this black bantam Orpington hen, she was on her own with a cockerel for a couple of months, I thought she would hold up on her own because she had brilliant feathers but the cockerel was very harsh. She won classes last year.

Poor girl is having a bad hair day ! It looks like the cockerel worked over her comb point too. I think she just needs to molt at this point, judging by all those browned out feathers.I love her big, round, dark eyes.

Yeah, I have removed the cockerel now to give her a break and next year she will only be put in with the cockerel twice a day for short periods

Once every other day should give you great fertility.

That's a blue laced red Wyandotte. American bird..... Not English......

Someone must have placed her in the wrong area. I didn't think she was an ORP.

I just thought I would pop in and post a picture of one of my favorite birds on the farm. These are Isabel Cuckoo Orpingtons and extremely rare in this Country. The birds are a base lavender with cuckoo barring in the roosters and buff highlights in the feathers of both genders. These are direct UK Imports (not projects) and as with most, the pictures do not do them justice.

lovely color

Good Morning Everyone! (well at least it is still morning out here on the west coast). I am looking for a couple of Splash pullets, or hens. Must be 100% English, of course. Does anyone have anything available, or know of anyone who does? I would sure appreciate the help. Thank you so much. You can pm me so we dont take up the groups chat.
