I LOVE orphingtons!!! They are so full and walk swishing their skirts and fancy pants.

The large roos seem gentle always for me too.

These jubilees are really pretty. OH MY, I can see the beginning of saving up again for chicks from this and that one. OH my......

I am really happy with the way this blue boy is growing out he is only 6 months old, I need to get a weight on him, but i would say 12 lbs. just by picking him up.

He has nice lacing and I like his color, a very wide, deep chest...the only thing that I am not the biggest fan of, is his tail, it is a bit to long for my liking but I have some pullets that should correct that.

What do you guys think of him is he a keeper? He is not full English but he is more than 50% I'd say more like 75-80% English. But I will be breeding him to some very nice 100% English pullets this next spring.

I like him, still has some filling out to do. Give him time, I'm sure he'll turn into a charmer

I like him ! When his tail finishes, he will be a good show bird.With his slightly longer body, I'll bet his pullets will lay well too.
