Thanks! Her looking solid black for the first few months before lightening up really had me confused, but I prefer blue over black so her being a dark blue works for me!

She’s beautiful! I always have loved blues. This is the other blue pullet that came in the box. I guess I am just used to my blue Marans that seem to be so much lighter compared to the blue orpingtons.

Thank you all!

Since you are here and much more knowledgeable on Orpingtons can I ask what you would consider this pullet? I thought black because she was black as a chick and stayed that way up until about a month ago when she started to lighten up. She is lighter than any black chickens that I have seen, but...

I decided to keep him for now and see how he turns out. I will add updated pictures once he finishes filling out. Every week he seems to get more lacing in. Only a month ago his head had the yellow and his body was completely black so I guess we will see if he changes anymore.

I think the biggest difference for English is that they are I guess I would describe it as more pudgy/round/bowling ball body shaped compared to the American. The English are broader across the shoulders, shorter legs, shorter back length and looser fluffyfeathering. English style (google...

He does look like chicken version of a Ken doll and now I can’t unsee that😂

I paid anywhere from $14.50-$16.50 per chick for the variety boxes since I ordered both box types for the orpingtons. He had one box option that was non-project English lines only and then the other box option could have both English and project orpingtons. You can definitely see the difference...

Yep! I ordered I believe it was 27 total from Jeff this spring. Here is my Isabel Cockerel I got from the first Papa’s Poultry batch that arrived in April. I have yet to come up with a name for this guy that suits him🤔

My sister said the same thing when I sent her a picture😂

I originally wasn’t sure if I was going to keep him, but I might have to. I ended up with 12 cockerels out of this batch and several unique colors which is making it hard to choose😅 I have Isabel, Isabel Laced Lavender, Blue Partridge along with the usual splash, black, lavender and blue...

That would make sense especially since he is oddly colored/patterned. I wasn’t sure if his lacing would fill in and become more defined as he got older like my Wyandottes did or stay patchy.

This is Ronan. He is right around 5 months and came from one of Papa’s Poultry surprise Orpington boxes so he wasn’t exactly labeled. I thought he was a golden laced because he looked pretty close to a golden laced as a chick, but not exactly. I know Jeff has a lot of projects colors going on...
