Falkor Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have buff, splash and speckle(brown with white flecks?) Orps!! I just need the black one to make a full set!!! Lucky you! We are expecting pics!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Palmer07 - your 'speckle' orps are actually called 'jubilee' - apparently they were created around Queen Victoria's jubilee. They are not as common as the standard colour orps. You could also collect blue, white (both standards) lavender, lemon cuckoo, blue cuckoo, gold laced, silver laced...sure I've missed something! KatieandNick - good choice! Black is probably my favourite colour orp, I'm sure you'll have a ball with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
