I have to be honest I have the English bug but still agree with great birds from US. Orpingtons both US and English have stolen my heart. Trying to keep the English from stealing my wallet .
VIVI is one nice lady who I am sending one of my CUCKOO Orp cockerels to and I only charged her $100 for everything to ship the bird. To me that is a fair price. It will be at least $70 to $80 to just ship the bird. That is deep enough into one's pocket. I hear of those charging $400 for a bird. And that is just too much for a bird.
