I’ve been looking into getting more OEGB but there are literally no breeders in my area so I currently find myself having to travel up to the next poultry show in my state and they usually happen about 5 hours up north because the Sourhern half of Florida is mostly just city-living. I found this ad on craigslist from a breeder who’s selling her young flock of Lavender/ Self Blue OEGB and she’s selling singles for $40, and $30 each of it’s a cockerel and 3 hens. She also said she’s willing to trade and she agreed to trade my Black SOP-bred Ameraucana (which are way harder to get a hold of here than OEGB) for one of the pullets. I genuinely can’t tell if it’s worth it or whether her birds have been bred to standard. Should I buy them & trade in the black Ameraucana, should I keep the Ameraucana & buy the OEGB, or should I just keep looking? Here are some pictures that I got from the breeder’s ad:
I genuinely can’t tell if they’re hatchery, breeding, or show quality but they do seem to be very uniform & I don’t see any major deviations from the rest of the flock (miscolored legs, miscolored beaks, bleached feathers, etc.)
Here’s the black Ameraucana I’m considering parting with:
Simply put: Are these birds worth my time? Would you part with the Ameraucana?
