The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[HenThymes]

I've shown her picture before but I hope that her blue & lacing as well as conformation stays consistant enough to start showing her this fall as she has quickly become my favorite of my growing juvi's.

Without looking back she is somewhere between 4-5 months old now.

The standard says each feather distinctly or sharply laced with black or glossy black depending on the position of the feather.

The colour standard in England must be different aswell then.

Probably is, but if you want to show in the US, you have to show by the American Standard. Otherwise, the judge has no criteria to base their opinion on and the bird would be DQ'd automatically.

Hi, I have been trying to find a place/person that I could order English Orpington LF chicks/juvenile birds from here in the US. Google is full of UK sites but finding a breeder in the US that has something other than Buffs has been most difficult. Does anyone know of someone that has good english stock here in the US that will ship chicks? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd just about kill for golden laced but any colour that breeds true would be welcomed.

Thanks a whole big bunch!

I know I promised pictures months ago - Here are pictures of the two blue rooster from the chicks I got last fall.

This one is in with my biggest American B/B/S Orpingtons and the two Black hens from the chicks

This one is in the special project pen. Those are standard breed chickens with him even if they look like batam next to this giant. Notice the turkey in the background.
