Any variety is fine with us! I got the wonderful tip on reniespeeps and have sent them a message. Fingers crossed!

have not posted in here in a while, took some pics of the birds in the cold, it was around 20 yesterday when I took these. I shared them on FB but not all of my orp friends are over there. Most of these are 6 to 8 months old, cept the big blue girl, she was hatched out of Rogers eggs just over a year or so ago.

Beautiful! Nice and fluffy. Mine aren't too happy with temps in the teens. They've been staying inside. Wimps!

Hey guys... I have a potentially silly question...

is there a difference between "diamond jubilee" and "jubilee" ?

this person claims their "diamond jubilee" to be deep mahogany... Is there a darkening gene in "diamond jubilee" or is it just a name and he happens to have a nice dark rooster?
