I've found a local breeder that has 100% English Large Fowl Chocolate Orpingtons for sale, I've been debating getting into breeding, and have had my heart set on Choc Orpingtons, the opportunity has just come up a little earlier than I thought it would so now I'm scrambling!
On her website, all it states is that they were lucky enough to be able to acquire 2 different English lines.
What questions should I be asking? How do I know they are true LF English Chocolate Orpingtons? She has chicks for sale ($50/chick) or older pullets/cockerals ($75/pullet or cockerel) that are 1.5-2 months old.
To start a proper breeding program, how many pullets/cockerals would you suggest buying?
