No problem! Glad I could help.

I called the breeder and she was super nice about it and is going to refund my money for the one chick.

That's awesome!
Did she want it back? Probably not, hopefully anyway.

Okay, call me ignorant but I have never heard of a chocolate Orpington.

Hi all

,

Hello skyknight!!

I'm not sure what has caused that problem. They all looked good while here. although this flock is young and new breeders. They come from Choc Orps in Ohio and down south, which were brought in as eggs. So, not the same bloodlines!!

Here are the pics of Daddy and a couple of his girls. The rest are inside.



They are in the shade so the color isn't good PLUS, since they're in their run, kinda hard to have them pose so that they're pretty.

They're rare and usually run about $25 to $50 each, depending where you get them from and if they're SQ. LF or split.

BTW skyknight... you'll have to cull the poor little guy. Don't want problems caused further down the road with bad genetics.

I'll put your refund in the mail tomorrow.

No, she suggested I cull it, and I probably will have to, as I want to breed healthy chickens. But I'm not sure if I can go through with it because it breaks my heart!
