Whats GBL and GWL? Black Laced Golden and White laced golden?

That's correct.

My bigger chickens are now up to size >16< in the spiral bands They are adults that just got bigger and bigger

Oh oh! Mine are only size 12....I guess I didn't realize how BIG they would get. I'm putting in an order NOW! (my oldest hens are only 5 1/2 months so I guess they will keep growing)​

Ok...just got out all my info and went online to double check. I have size 12 BANDETTES...wide plastic numbered band...no plliers needed to put on. They are size 12 and the largest they make unless I go to turkey size...geese size...etc. Are we on the same page?? Will the English Orps get bigger than the size 12? Right now...my roo is in the 12 and my hens the size 10...so maybe they will go up but I just checked them last week and they still were able to slide up and down.​

These guys are not done at 5 1/2 months old.... trust me on this... It is mostly the boys.. but I do have some hens from Bama... that needed up grading this spring too. I don't like to see them tight... but not so loose they can get them off either.

Mine has that tail, otherwise they're almost sisters. Guess she wouldn't be so bad to breed to the part English after all?​

Renie, I am in love with this girl!

Is she from your breeding, from Joy or Julie's line?​
