They will not be shipping until September of 2011. The birds will be $399 a pair, this info is directly from the source.

But WAIT--IF you order now---you're guaranteed to be just one in the crowd of hundreds clamoring for this rare breed and within a year or two's time these will be just like all of the other fad breeds...cheap, over-bred, inbred and mass-produced for greedy individuals with $$ as their motive. Look at the Coronation. They used to be big money and now....well now, they're going for $15.00 on eBay for a dozen hatching eggs.

But that's just my humble opinion.
