Who else loves their Orps? Orp lovers and Orps ONLY Thread. If you are going to hate on Orps, you aren't allowed.

I raised LF BBS Cochin and then bantam MF/calico NN frizzled Cochin varieties.
You'll have to forgive me I was younger, dumber and probably drunk.

Nah. You were younger dumber and drunk when you decided to get rid of the round birds.

See THIS is why I came to BYC, quality chicken discourse. Keep it coming guys I love this community.

Y’all have never had cochins

This is Uriah, he’s a marans cochin cross but he got the poof of a Cochin. I absolutely adore poufy chickens. He was not aggressive before but he’s getting a bit sassy now (he’s about eight months old), he clucks and growls at everything too I walk in the coop and he goes “rrrrrrrr” and I’m like monsieur I put you in this coop and I can take you right back out (I’d never though, he’s my boy)

I love my Orps. They are bumblety-dumbelty silly birds who come running when I come home, waddling at full tilt and flapping their wings for extra speed. At some point, I might have a bigger coop and enclosed run and get a few other kinds, but right now my BO's are the best fit for where I am.

I would love to get some English types, or even American Orps from a breeder, but that is still in the future.
I would even consider Cochins. I'm a sucker for the fat, fluffy, feathery, friendly chickens.

He’s beautiful

Thank you! I’ve never had such a photogenic bird honestly, he’s always posing for pictures

I love my Orpingtons.

I need to get updated pictures of my Buffs.

My friend just hatched out some APA Buff Orpington bantams. I'm getting some.

Wait whaaaat.

I've never liked the thought of bantam Orps.
Kinda defeats the whole puffy gentle giant thing.

Need pictures when you get them though.

 

[Orpingtons Mom]

I love my Orpingtons.

I love the first picture, MysteryChicken. It looks like the two hens are bowing to the beauty of your King Roo!

Understandable, of course, as they are all beautiful and intelligent Orpingtons, the most sublime breed of chicken in the world.

This is Hermione!

I apologize in advance. I don’t know what’s gotten to me this morning. Maybe too much sleep... chicken dreams ... thoughts of eating Cochins for breakfast. Who knows.

I was looking at this thread and saw this lovely lady (I hope) and the caption flew into my head.

“Well girls, how do you like my boob job? Hollywood, here I come!”

Just had to share.
