This is a picture of Midas. He is my English Imported Buff Orpington rooster .. I love and adore him. He is the sire to all of my buff chicks to date My incubators are peeping today.. I can hear the next generation hatching
She is gorgeous. English type is just that "type". From what I can see in the pic, she fits the type. Sure it is nice to know they are from pure imported lines. But, even the UK has crappy "English" birds. She has very beautiful feathers and shape. Precious!!!!
I sent you a Pm back. Orpington's do come in white. There is a white Orpington's or a sport which can come from BBS. I have both here. Whites are very pretty birds and several people are currently working with the color.
This is a very interesting color. White over slate (black or blue) feet. I can't wait to see her mature. She is gorgeous.
Do you think this is a splash with the omission of blue, since she is from BBS parents?
I am in NC, love the thread and all the beautiful pics. I am looking for Buff English Orps, prefer eggs or chicks. They aren't going to be shown, just for my own enjoyment and learning to improve the next generations.
