Just got some new Orpingtons

[cobsarefab]

I really love my new large fowl Orpington's, just bought a breeding trio. They are beautiful buffs. Any ideas on names?

 

[PorkChop]

Orpingtons are gorgeous, good layers too

Calypso, Venus and Maximus

 

[Redders]

I like Miranda, Chiffy, and Florence for some reason!

I love Orpington's! I had a pair of black hens, they were stunning. No idea on names but am quite jealous.

These are lovely but there are two hens and a cockerel.

[cobsarefab]

Sorry no pics of the gals but they wouldn't cooperate! My sister has come up with lord worcester, lady Penelope and lady felicity

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Lovely. Am now jealous as my friend got 6 chickens yesterday. I have bird envy.

 

[cobsarefab]

Why not hatch some?

My nextdoor (field) neighbour breeds poultry,hundreds of birds a year, when I go past the field all I can see are Orps and hear them crowing, lovely birds

 

[Wimbles]

Orps are lovely birds.

As for names, I'm probably not the best person to ask! We spend far too much time trying to think up ridiculous names for my chickens (which are mostly Polands)

We have;
Henny Kravitz
Audrey Henburn
Victoria Peckam
Attila the Hen
Christina Eggwilayer
Dolly Parthen
Cheryl Tweety
Russell Crow
Sophia LeHen
Rebecca Egglington
Grace Shelly

etc etc..................

Wimbles can I just say that those names, and therefore by extension, you, are just fantastic!

OP what a lovely cockerel, I'm sure the ladies are lovely too. I could never even attempt to add to Wimbles' list of names so I won't!

Lovely. Are you egg-cited?!

this is my cockerel

I had two Buff Orpington cockerels - Fred and Kevin, but sadly they fell out big time and we now only have Kevin. Your boy looks like our Fred.
