The link you posted includes pictures of some very nice birds. I've seen their birds on auction sites for years & once contacted them about some Red Pyles. Unfortunately they could not ship to my zip code.

He sent me some pics of the pair, I've decided to get another pullet as well (sight unseen

). He should ship them on Monday I hope. Here's the pics of the pair I'm getting. While I don't think they are quite worth $40 they are still very nice in my opinion. I'm sure, barring any tragedies, that I'll be able to make my investment back from them

ETA: I just absolutely LOVE the little rooster, he is very pretty! I don't like the pullet's comb, but after looking at some of mine, I guess it's normal? For some reason it just seems out of place on her....oh well

They're "worth" $40 now, that's what you paid for them. However, if you were to turn around & try to sell them they would only remain worth $40 if you could find someone to pay that for them.
They're a nice looking pair. I actually like the female better but you're right about her comb. It's a bit too big & it's quite course.

Are those considered splash?



Have you guys ever had an issue where you got an OEGB roo that was mature and had issues being able to handle it with out it like being mean?

Hey Poultrycrazy,
This bird does not look show quality to me. I dont like the overall type and to much white in base if tail.A little tall for what I like it does have a pretty green sheen tho.
