The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[fowlman01]

It's clearly a wyndotte comb,and to me they look like a straight comb wyndotte.If you look at the base of the comb it preceeds the rear of the skull and has a wide base,They are very good in color and would be great if someone crossed them and got them to british standard,but 1000.00 for a pair is a little steep for me at the moment for project bird's...god knows i have enough going on right now,lol.

Wyandotte's have a rosecomb........nothing like the comb in that picture. The comb is correct for an Orp, but it is not a perfect comb.......it also is not that bad. Maybe a one point deduction in a show........certainly not a big deal.

The rotund in the front IS rotund. Total cuteness.

Are any of these orpingtons?



These are three different sets of chicks. The first two don't have the partridge pattern on their backs.

They are nice, I have only seen the blacks and splashes, I really like the buff color.
