Thank you BAMACHICKEN
The story behind these gilrs. I met a guy named Russ Milkey. Russ knows his birds. He bought from a breeder in MICHIGAN, who had to take over this ladies flock who was her husbands, who EITHER died or was dying. And he had so many birds he had to sell off a bunch. So, Russ bought a pair. Cockerel and pullet. And he showed his Roo last year at a local county fair here in Hamilton County Indiana that was judged by a guy named DOUG AKERS. Doug told Russ that you have one fine Orp, and gaave Russ the Best of breed and maybe better. I can't really remember what Russ said. But, Doug liked his birds. And I found this out after the fact when the girls had grown up. I posted a WANTED ROO/COCKEREL on Craigslist, and Russ replied. He said that DOug told him to contact a lady at Catalpa Farm in IL. I did to find out that that lady ( Gail ) sold off her blacks. So, I am looking for a Black cockerel/Roo or chicks. I have some chicks. And I have heard of Sandhill. I am sorta looking for that needle in a haystack. not too many people do Balcks nowadays.
So, that is why I am here pleading ignorance and still expecting the to get the best I can dig up.
