The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

I hear ya, Jeremy.

I have my last batch in the hatcher now. The Sportsman is taking a rest.

Ya know, you could rationalize hatching ...... do it because you have an order to fill!

Oh how I love those English bantams!!

I do wish we had more of them here as bantam orps make up the most of my flock. Would love to add some of the UK traits into the American bantams to help with some needed improvements. Ours here are much smaller all the way around than yours there. I do hope you join us over at the Bantam Orp Thread and share more of your lovely pictures.

This is the closets I have come so far, a nice size and round pullet.

I am just wondering if you sit and pet the eggs and sing to them, and this is why you are getting more pullets then cockerels.

Bantam Orp Thread?

where is that then? newbe here remember.

bit of a tail on that pullet henthymes.

I have the same problem with some of mine, trying to get my lines sorted, too many colours.....

so I have mixed results ...its all a mess - what with trying to get nice chocs/blacks & blues I have ended up with 10 or so boys....next year will be organised - might even get some pics of my boys. here a couple of my larger bantam hens to show the problems of mixing lines.
