If anyone wants to discuss with me how this color works, I would greatly appreciate it! I want to recreate it with my Bantam Orpingtons. Feel free to PM, message me through my Facebook page Brandi's Fancy Feathers, or email me at [email protected]. Thanks!
I do. I have BBS, Chocolate, Mauve, Cuckoo, and Lavender in Bantams. Here are a couple from this spring of some Blues and a Mauve. I need to take new pics once they molt. Don't have many pics on this computer, but I have more on my Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/BrandisFancyFeathers
I may offer eggs by request. I have never had much luck with shipped eggs(being on the receiving end), so am kind of leaning towards not regularly selling hatching eggs. But if you would rather try your luck with eggs, I would be willing to ship them. I can definitely ship chicks and older...
I have several varieties including BBS, Chocolate, Cuckoo (Blue and Black, hope to work on Chocolate as well), and Mauve. I will be offering chicks and juveniles in the Spring. I am looking for Jubilee, Lavender, and Mottled/Spangled if anyone has any!
After getting a large juvenile flock of Chocolate Bantams recently, I really like these little birds! Definitely want to add some more to my collection.
Anyone have BBS Bantam Orps available? I am looking for some exhibition quality chicks or juveniles to add to my flock. You can PM me if...
A friend is thinking about making a run to FL and back this weekend from Louisiana to pick up chickens, so I am looking to see if anyone has/will have English Orpington chicks along the way. I am looking for Jubilee, Blue/Black/Splash (a few of each), and Lavender. PM me with info and pics if...
It's because the listing said Mottle/Spangle not Mottled, so if you are searching Mottled it won't hit with a match. Make sure you search with Mottle when looking.
You're welcome! And thank you!
Yes, you are correct on the down colors of the chicks. Also, another factor in mottled Orps is their legs will be white, not slate or black like most black and Lavender birds have. My couple of adult mottled Lavs don't have super defined mottling (hopefully it...
I have both Lavender and Black mottled birds. There is a thread for the mottled birds somewhere. I will find a link to it for you and repost it. When the mottled chicks hatch they are all yellow with a small spot of black or lavender on their back and sometimes head. I have more pics than the...
I am in the New Orleans area (Westbank), and occasionally have pullets available. Usually just straight run chicks. I also organize the chicken sale in Covington at O'Keefe's Feed, and our next one is Sunday March 24, then there is another swap on the first Sunday of the month in Hammond. There...
Reviving this thread as I want to start a Porcelain Orpington project. I have Jubilee and Mottled Lavenders that I am growing out, so I will breed them together and have splits for the first generation, then breed those together to get 25% porcelains from those splits. Correct? I am at least...
Darn, can't believe I missed this! I was just thinking I needed to look for the egg swap page the other day. I guess I will be waiting for the next one!
No, they are about 1/2 English. I had some mottled Lavender pop up from my Lavender Orps (Hinkjc lines), then I got a partially mottled black split when I bred my Lavender hens to a 7/8 English roo. So, I am now breeding these birds that are about 1/2 English and had these chicks pop up in my...
Thank you! I will post pics as they mature. Hopefully they will turn out nice, but they are definitely somewhere to start!
I definitely want to be on your list for some chicks if you ship...have to see what else you have that I may need!
