Bay Area BYCers!

[jeremy]

That would be awesome! Then we would have two sources for these beautiful birds in the Bay Area.

I don't have room, plus I've never been a huge fan of Brahmas in general, but if I did have these space these birds are just too beautiful to not breed.

Cheryl, so 5 pens plus a layer flock pen? 6 pens? That's a lot of chickens! I sometimes feel like I still have a bunch and I did a lot of downsizing over the winter.

Yep it's a lot but FUN!!!

Who's the other breeder, I didn't realize someone else had the buff laced brahmas here

Would be great to exchange stock every 2 years

Should I put you on the list? I'm probably going to hatch chicks for this year

 

[kfchickenlady]

well, yes, I believe you should, esp since we will be in Bay Area so much for Pony Club again this year

I don't know if she will be breeding them but I'm sure she would get a roo or two in her order. Heck, I might buy a pair from her and keep them at a friends house just to have some too!

They remind me of my Buff Laced Polish, the Buff Lacing is beautiful.

I wonder how you could get that lacing color on an Orpington... THAT would be to die for!!!

From the breeder? his last auction was a dozen eggs for $1070.00

And the point of that is.... I plan on specializing in brahmas so the best solution to all of that would be to go to the breeder. Correct? If its something you really love then I don't think there's a price tag on them.

Possibly, I dunno where?

If people have bought from that source though there are probably others with eggs or chicks at a lower price.

How much do you plan on charging for chicks or eggs Cheryl?

That is what I keep telling my SO about Orpingtons...

I've looked into importing birds directly from the UK. For a pair, or a trio at most we would be looking at $5,000+ initial investment.

But, I looooooooooooooooooooove the Diamond Jubilees soooooooooo much!!!
