Here is one of my favorite Mottled/Spangled hens. She is 1 year old

Pretty girl. Love that spread tail, and top line too !

Hi Guys,

Just want to chime in, since I saw the same posting and emailed the guy. He wasn't sure what they were but said they were breed by I think he said Old Orchard, so I emailed them and never got a response to clarify :-(

From what everyone in this thread has said...mixed chicks

What I mean is, email those individuals who purchased eggs. I've done that before, asked how their hatch was

I am curious about something. I have 100% English Bantam Orps. The hens have beautiful bowling ball shapes with no upright tail feathers. Just a lovely full bustle butt. I see some hen pics here with upright tail feathers like my American BO had. Which is preferable in the English Orpington?
