I just gave away an extra SLO cockerel = 3.5 mo old. The woman wanted him for her rooster-less flock. Poor little guy's cage was instantly surrounded by his new harem. They were very curious but I could see he wanted to run for his life. I told her it would a Very LONG Time before she would...

I like the overall look of #2. He looks similar to my former rooster "Mr Wonderful." (Who was simply wonderful to his hens and great around children)

:love I like that black orp foot warmer. I had a sweet rooster just like him

She sure is. That’s when she was still a pullet. She’s about 10 lbs now. Her mama was my biggest hen ever - 11lbs I’ll try to grab a pretty photo during the exhibition

I know the 4H shows are more for kids' education purposes and not as strict on the APA rules. The same judge as last year - who tends to like big fluffy birds. Last year:

Does anyone here show their orps? Do hens with leg spurs get disqualified? Our son is bringing a gorgeous black orp hen to the 4H County Fair. Last year she won class champ as a pullet and then went on to Grand Champion out of all the chickens - even beat our blue orp cockerel! This year...

My fav is the 2nd pic :love

:eek:

I went and took a pic of the poor plucked pullet. My past theory was that this guy wants all the chickens to have bald heads and necks - just like him. 🤣

Are they as cute as this??? 🤣 Our silkie witch greeted many trick or treaters yesterday. Last weekend our serama dressed as a bat for a school's Halloween Fun Run

The above is not my photo, but I have the same same bald neck thing going on here. My black orp pullet got patchy one day and bald the next . (bald from wattles to crop in front and a bit of the sides of neck.) I think it was excessive grooming from a flock member. They shouldn't be bored...

I had chocolate cuckoo orps for one year. (2015) I thought my sex-linked orps in such a rare color would sell well. My cuckoo orps went through an incredibly long awkward stage from age 6 days to 6 months. Even though I could promise a pullet, customers preferred to buy the adorable straight run...

Am I the only one drooling over this breeding coop set up? Wow, the idea of having the ability to breed that many orp colors......... I'm truly maxed out at 2 (lav and silver laced) Maybe throw in an occasional blue & some blacks.

I never wanted to own a buff orp - - until now. Beautiful!!!!

Orps do like to eat. (Yet, not as bad as meatbirds & turkeys. Free-range foraging helps.) They're not very bright & the English bloodlines can get poopy butt. BUT Orps have awesome personality, docile temperament, jumbo eggs, and incredible beauty that's hard to beat. They really are as...

@ColtHandorf :drool Those are going to make some nice breeding pens! So lucky you found them!

I was looking at bantam Cochins (same fluffy shape and personality, many color choices, but prefer featherless shanks/feet), bantam Wyandottes (similar, no feathered feet to deal with, but not quite as fluffy) and even hatchery bantam orps (but they lacked the extra fluff of the English...

:wee❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I Love Dahlia..... and Suade (RIP)

@ColtHandorf Nice display. The neat organized appearance, table cloth, and floral décor really makes your table stand out. I only do chick sales from home, but yes, the blacks don't sell as well. To me, they are far more stunning than the lavenders, but people don't realize that when...
