The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

So the "standing on the girls until the mood hits again" is a common thing?

Ack. I will have to see about the saddles... thanks everyone.

Yep - it is a very common thing with my boys. A lot of time, I go knock them off the girls. Good luck with the saddles - they really are a big help.​

Cool. I've made saddles for my smaller hens, but never for these huge girls. Will have to take some measurements.

If it helps, the saddles I am having made are 9" in length and 11" in width.​

I have 2 buff orpingtons and one blue and one black splash. They were all born at the end of September. The two buffs have been laying for a few weeks now but, the blue and splash aren't laying or crowing.

So when do Orpingtons usually start laying or crowing.

Thanks,
Michelle

Yeah! The Exhibition Poultry online just came out and I am published (my show results) for the first time!!

I was hoping for pics as they were taking them at the show but looks like Cecil stole the spotlight this month, or should I say the newsletter. That's alright though as it's all about orpingtons.

Are these English birds? My English boys typically start crowing around 4-5 months, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. My girls usually start laying between 7-10 months.
