FOR SALE
(1) bantam Orpington PAIR. The cockerel is Mauve, and then hen is Black.
I purchased the cockerel in February from Brandi McGovern of Brandi's Fancy Feather's in Lousiana.
The hen was hatched last year from eggs I purchased from Blue Rein Poultry,
who no longer has their bantam breeding stock.
These birds are unrelated, and would be a great starter duo for a foundation flock.
When bred together this pair will produce:
25% Black MALES, split to Chocolate
25% Chocolate FEMALES
25% Blue MALES, split to Chocolate
25% Mauve FEMALES.
Due to the sex linked behavior of the Chocolate gene,
you will be able to determine the sex of the resulting chicks as they hatch!
The hen is a bit 'rough around the edges' from having been in the breeding pen with this cockerel, her eggs are fertile though, and she is a consistent layer of medium sized eggs. I've added a picture of her when she was in better condition.
Buyer to pay for cost of birds ($90) + shipping + for a new box.
Please PM me with your zip code for a shipping estimate.
Thank you!
