Check these Orpingtons out. These pictures were taken at the German national in Frankfurt last week.

Kathy, what happened to that birds feet?!?!?!?!?!?!

He's a round one!

Those Buffs are gorgeous, I would love love love to have some English type Buffs here in the US!

WOW, look at that .... English type Orps in Germany. LOL .... Such controversy in the USA about the "type," it makes me giggle to see another country has resorted to the English type! Soooooooo funny to me!

edited to addi: I LOVE those ENGLISH buffs! Thanks so much for posting those photos!

Those Buffs are awesome. I'd love to get some English Buffs over here. I agree, the English Orps make the American Orps look pretty scrawny.

I rarely see my chickens' feet. When I see a picture of a chicken with feet, it looks soooooooooooo funny to me.

From what I understand, he doesn't even have orpingtons, so I doubt he would have one. Also, he has been quite vocal in his distaste for the English Orps.

How about Silver Laced Orps? Hm...

Joy, my pullets legs are slowly starting to disappear as more of their loose feathers fill in. LOL! I hope they mature to look like their pure English cousins!

ETA: I was just browsing some UK sites that had Orpington pairs listed for sale, guess how much they were selling full grown, mature pairs for.

Fifty British Pounds! My jaw just about dropped to the ground when I read that.

Fifty Pounds?!! Imagine if it only cost us that much to import them here... I'd have a pair of every color!
