The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Does anyone know how to obtain a copy of the UK Orpington breed standard? Thanks!
 
you can go on facebook at the Orpington UK club and order it there..

You have some very nice orpingtons I looked through your pictures. I have considered getting some from someone since I am looking to add another breed.
 
Thanks for getting back to me

I wasn't intending to breed back to solids I'm buying some fertile eggs to regain my solids back, I was just wondering if the colour cross would be a pleasant one? Or if I'd end up with perculiar patchy hens? I'd like to hatch some off from the original flock for posterity's sake if the colour outcome would be nice to look at

Depends what you call peculiar. I'd say the jubilee are peculiar, but people love them. My buff crosses always seemed to find a way to look like they were meant to be that color and looked natural - they ranged anywhere in between the two colors of the parents and weren't patchy.
 
Ok so, I am getting some Jubilee eggs in mid March from Heirloom Orpingtons.

This is my first time owning any and I plan to breed them next year, so is there any thing I need to know before I begin breeding them?
