The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[Don Chandler]

Ok, maybe I will keep him. I need to invest in a scale though so I can work on the size of my birds.

I would trade a nice choc female, in case you change your mind. I don't need a split, but my black can always use one like that.

Thats what you got me thinking, I was going to put the american on my blues but I might put him on them instead.

Here is one of my chocolate split cockerels I am thinking of selling, he is half English stock.

Wow. Very nice.

I think I do, I think his tail angle is a little high.

This is a pure American bird that is about half the size, not the best picture though.

He's wonderful Osman...doesn't the standard want to see the tail the same height as head?, not meaning wrong tail angle or squirrel tail But if you draw
Plumb line from head back..the top of tail should be Close to that height..can't remember where I read that..one of a judges perspective On orpingtons in poultry press or exhibition poultry..I may have kept that article, I will look...the Experts can comment in on that..were here to learn..probably not an accident that you see a lot like that..maybe angle is the wrong term for me to use.but I think you know what I mean..I'm commenting on your other picture, somehow I accident highlighted this one.

To me he has really nice face, classic eye and comb from what you can see..lots of appeal overall nice type..when I look at them..I like them to look just like that..I have some that don't..kind of flat..when I Look with just a glance, I know what he is..a good looking orp. don't have to guess about it.
