The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[deek]

It's intimidating sharing pictures of my babies since everyone else has mature knock outs. But, since some of you are mentioning scraggly, I thought I'd share this young man. I don't know what happened in the coop last night, but he woke up with total attitude this morning. He is extremely slow to feather and his comb and wattles are just now appearing. I have some boys that feathered as fast as the girls, this one was just interested in growing feet and bones. His eyes remain a beautiful green. I don't know when that will change, but I will cry. As of yesterday, he is 9 weeks old. Can you believe that much time has gone by?

Oh, thank you. I was apprehensive in posting a picture of a 9 wk old with so much growing to do. But, he was asking to be photographed this morning.

20 weeks old pullets. I have a splash and blue that I think are nice, but not sure. Please let me know what you think. I'm not a breeder just an admirer and would like to know what I have. How is the lacing on the blue pullet? I have thick skin so tell me what you think.
