I'll take the buff orps and offer 6 black bantam cochin eggs to ship as early as Monday as long as the girls cooperate (have to work tomorrow and Sat. and have a midwife appt. Monday). I think I still have pics on my page over there <<<<----- I do have one blue cock and three blue pullets in with my blacks, but they were only born in Sept. and I do not think they are laying or breeding, yet. Just saying this b/c if they are, you may have the possibility of having blues and splashes, but again, this is very, very, very doubtful. All of my original stock is from Judy Gantt.
My only concern is that it's cold right now so I worry about someone getting frozen eggs in the mail, but it's supposed to get warm here tomorrow through next Wed. so might work out okay.
Flubber ~ pics are no longer on there so I'll post them here from the post I made on the show your cochins thread.
Here are some of our pets.
(This was at the beginning of the January, they have grown and developed even more since then. They were hatched Sept. 2008.) The sun was weird in this pic, they are not oddly colored like this.

(The two lessy show of the ones from this pic now reside with EllyMae.
I'll throw in a few eggs from my bantam white crested black and blue Polish as extras if they laying and if the swapper wants them. I haven't checked fertilitiy on the Polish yet, so they would be "test" eggs. But these eggs are from show quality birds. It's cold here, though, and they have been laying intermittently. But just a thought--I'll gladly throw them in with the Marans eggs if I've got 'em.
