What breed is this hen

[BlackHackle]

Canadian Style . There is a big difference in the Canadian style than the US and UKs. Canadian tend not to lay as much and are a wee bit smaller, American and good layers and really showy, and the old UK's are just big puff balls

I am thinking of also getting some Blue Orps for show breeding

Found some Old English Silver Laced Orpingtons near you in British Columbia...

Okay, I only knew of one type of Orpington of which I have two Buffs. Where can I find out about these other types?

Well they are all scattered. Try the United Orpington Club. They list all the American ones
