The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

I thought i would do a growth Chart of how Charlie grew out so like myself you can see the various stages.

That's a great idea, Julie. I'll do the same for Winston and Clementine and post the pictures here later today.​

These birds are all so 'poofy', I love them! Someday maybe I'll buy some eggs - when they're available. Those golden laced are awesome! But my dream girls are Jubilees.

He went into his second moult a week ago and now has no tail feathers. When he gets through it and looks all awesome again I will take another pic.

Joy, I love that picture of Winston and Clementine's daddy. He's a big ol fluffy guy, for sure!

Julie, That is great, having the progression pictures. What an amazing transformation!

I attempted to get some pictures of Joy's chicks, but didn't fare so well this morning.

Kathy- they sure have attitude- they know they will grow up to be lookers!

Kathy, they are looking really good. Look forward to seeing their progress. I have some very similar that I hatched from Joy.

Julie, That little roo I was telling you about .... he is finally starting to grow. Slow to mature, I guess.

And this is one of the girls. I have 2 that look alot alike, like this one ....

Oh my goodness Kathy, You need to send Charlie Jr. back to me. Love the way that boy looks. Beautiful girl. How old are they now about 4 months going on five?

I have a little feller that seems smaller in height than some of his siblings but he is a wide boy and a nice personality. About 3 months old now. I am keeping all the boys till they get to 7 months before I make a decision.
