how to get a black orpington or australorp

[marvun22]

i really want a black orpington, or a black australorp they look very alike. i don't want to buy online the shipping prices are too much for me. i have buff orpington hens and a ameraucana rooster could there hatchlings be black by any chance? no local store sells them. and could they be about 10 weeks old at the youngest.

Hi &

. Crossing the breeds you have will not get a black. You could post a Wanted ad in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum and give your location. Maybe there is a member in your area that can help you. Good Luck!
