Why Orpingtons?

Well glad I decided to show her pics! Beauty has a date lined up with one of my own Buff cockerels. I got her in with the other pullets until she starts laying. I have one little Buff cockerel left no one wanted to buy from me and I decided to keep him around and see what happens when I breed the bluexbuff back to buff. I plan to get her a blue orp rooster or black rooster soon as I can.

Also I have some white laced cornish cockerels that are just not selling. I might just bbq two of them and keep the other two to try and cross with Beauty later to get some pretty cornish hybrids. Though if they really come out to be just as pretty as Beauty... I don't think I could eat them lol.

I think this thread is a kick

!

I haven't had Orps for years but some of what I like about Australorps is what I liked about Orpingtons.

What was that original question

?? Enjoyed reading the first few pages a couple days ago and now going back to see the rest. Thank you Orpington people!

They seem pretty cool I guess. I am more of a fancy bantam and Naked Neck person.
