Orpington Photo Shoot this evening

[bamachicken]

I havent been able to spend much time with my sweeties lately. Took a little time this afternoon although they didn't want to cooperate. They kept getting right at my feet thinking I had treats or constantly moving.
I did the best I could. I have never taken a good pic of this just now six month old Black Cockerel I have been growing out. I love his comb

Sibling of my other blue cockerel and still in the toss up to be culled. I may let him stay another month just to see what difference it makes. Last week I would have taken him to auction but he has been really growing this week

Blue pullet sister to the blue boys. she is to dark but lovely type and keeper for breeding

Last my favorite blue cockerel that I am hoping to be able to use for breeding this fall

Julie,
Your birds are always gorgeous. You have really raised the level of the hobby over the years. Just look at all that have your offsprings and Joy's offsprings. Without the two of you there would not have been so much excitement in the Orpington hobbiests. All I can say is "Thank You Very Much". Harry

Thanks Harry. I just love seeing so many breeding Orps again. It is amazing the enthusiasm over the past few years. I would like to hope I have contributed.
I was thinking the other day I would love to see some of the offspring from over the years if folks kept it up. I know the ones in the club but I sent eggs to so many that I never heard from again or see on the forums.
All the other imported colors have helped too and i am so thankful for the ones who got them here.

They all look great. That blue girl looks like she is going to be a huge bird. Very nice splash male as well.
