The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

I am overloaded as well with cockerels. I think I only like 2 or 3 of my Black pullets. I guess I will be bringing some Black cockerels to Crossroads.
He is not English. He is son of Boss HOGG.
The closest to a UK looking Black I have.

I guess I do have a smidge of UK blood in all my Blues. I do like the darker Blues. But understand the lighter is what they want at shows.
Here are 2 of the Blue cockerels I hatched.
Somewhere around 6 months old

I do like this color better.
BaBy Godzilla has more the look that you folks here will like.

Those are from my June 20th hatch. I have quite a few boys, for sure, too. Just hoping for a few nice black girls.

Of the silkies you sent me only 2 look like they may be girls.

Not sure how my hatching-only-boys vibe made it all the way out west, but I do apologize...

The good news is that almost all of the blues I thought were boys are actually girls, but all but two black chicks I hatched are boys. I'll trade you a black boy for a splash any old day.

Have I mentioned that I really, really want a splash?

Ok, here are a few pics of my Bama chicks. They were hatched the first week of April. So 5 months old. They are just get more and more beautiful! Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do.

This is Grace, my Splash pullet

I think that Splash pullet is DIVINE and needs to come live with me in California.

You can also send me the light ground colored pullet on the left in the 7th picture.
