Very lovely and good shape too. I think too many orps are starting to look like giant pekins, but she looks great! You must be proud.

Thanks, yes, we're getting there, improving jubilees isn't easy, there is nothing you can really outcross them to to help type, so it's a long process. It took us four years to source some decent breeding stock, eventually we travelled over to Germany for some, which is sad really, when you think that Hitler had all the Jubes distroyed in the war as they were a British breed/colour, but now they have better ones than us!!Foot in mouth
