Thanks Renee.
I have some eggs from the buffs in the incubator right now. They should hatch in 11 days. Will keep you updated.

Jubilee have the Mahogany in there- I'm looking for the buttery version. Just my own preference. I've been working on it for some time and prefer that to the pinker color. I would like to have the more robust shape.

Oh I thought they looked the same, do you already have the red porcelain?

Beautiful birds. I am just starting on mine. I love seeing the photos. I learn lots by looking and reading.

Here is the start to my orp family (well other than the 5 lav babies in the other room). The cockerel is 8 months old, the pullets 4 months old. The cockerel's name is Quincy and I got him from RedRenier.

eta: To spell RR's name right. Sorry Salina.

Salina I am not trying to dispute your word about the black Roo but in my understanding of breeding Splash Orps you would not produce black. I believe everything I have read is Splash to splash = Splash, Splash to black = 100% blue, Splash to Blue = 50% blue 50%splash.
