This listing is being held
auction style
Auction ends 9:00 Sunday night
May 25th
This auction is for 8 Ponape chicks to be shipped out next week.
Shipping is $40, Unless you can pickup.
They span 3 weeks in age and the youngest are 3 weeks old. (that means when you get them the oldest will be 6 weeks and the youngest 4 weeks.
I will be putting them in the box similar to the one they will be shipped in everyday for several hours to get them accustomed to the environment and will have cut fruit for them to eat just like the trip. For the trip I will have several apple halves attached to the inside of the shipping box so they won't be rolling around.
The Ponape (Saudeleur line) is a Micronesian Gamefowl descended of the Violaceous Junglefowl (Gallus violacea Gould)and Austronesian Fighting Game. The Ponape is a wild race, completely naturalized as a feral bird in the interior island of Ponape (Pohnpei). Trapped by the islanders for their beautiful plumage, they are prized in Micronesian villages on the coasts.
This is an unusually graceful, light-weight breed, more junglefowl than chicken. The crow is pleasant and multi syllabic but the birds are not particularly vocal.
Many birds are black boned and hence invaluable for selection breeders using their genetic stock for the creation of Cemani.
Here is an article about Rapanui (the category that Ponape fall into) from last year:
some of the pictures in the article are from my stock...

I know there are 10 chicks in the pictures, but I was going to keep the 2 youngest until they are a bit older.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
