Thanks Beth, I really like them. Took longer to get then planned but some really bad weather (wind storms) hit out in Calif. Oh well, they are safe and sound now in my basement by the old coal furnace so they will be warm. ha,ha These really are some nice Orp's.​

Congrats! That IS a long haul....I would have worried about how they would fare. They look like they came through ok?
Very nice and I'm sure you are thrilled!

Marc nice birds, I hope you cross the Golden laced with your Buff Laced so you can get some Blue Golden Laced birds.

Hi OSU man,

That is exactly what I was going to do next spring, mainly to get better lacing on the Buff white laced ones.
Thank you very much for your comments.

Marc - I assume LF? Looks like I will have about the same colors in bantams next year.

Marc, they are coming along so nicely!

I can't believe the fluff they have as juveniles, and can't wait to see what they shape into as adults. My birds all look so...American...in comparison.

The thing I can't get over is the shape even before they have filled-out. My birds don't start to look full until they are over a year, and they just don't EVER look like THAT. I'm really losing my interest in American standards and coming firmly over to the dark side...

Thanks so much for the new pics- if some of them disappear overnight, you won't find them in Kansas being hugged and squeezed!

Really!

Have you hatched any of the Buffs yet? I may need some for my Porcelain project and look forward to auctions.

Yes Richard, they are all LF execpt for the chocolates that I still have.
