Of they sketch or of the hen? They both look like they would be great to me.

I like/breed for a bigger and wider head and more pronounced tail feathers. I don't want a "soft" looking rounded tail. The length of leg, the short back with a gentle swoop into a slightly higher tail angle on this bird are something that I like to see in my Orps as well.

If she's real and you can get her to breed into your project I say go for it!

Thanks Jeremy. She's a sketch from the real deal.

I am so proud of my English orps. I just have to post some pictures that I took today. All of these are 1st generation from Chicks that I bought from Bamachicken. Except for 2 that hatched this spring from RebelYell. The splash roo and his special lady...I call them Harry and Pippa. I will caption so you know who is who. They are for sure my eye candy. I just love them.

Loving all the bird pics. I ordered my first Jubilee and he came in the mail today. He is beautiful but kinda matted and covered in the sticky watermelon used to hold him over on his journey from Cali. Off to get him bathed and cleaned up. He is 4 months old and huge. I will add pics very soon. Now to find him a mate lol. I am very happy to have him here at our farm. Talk about yard ornament and eye candy. The person I bought him off of was a pleasure to work with. I will post details when I post pics. She still has another for sale and she got hers from greenfire farms.
