Looking to start a blue/splash Orpington flock in NC

[Magick]

WoW!!! I am amazed at the responses this post has generated. Looks like I am living up to my "gotta have the most difficult to obtain" reputation! I don't mind attempting to hatch them out. I actually enjoy a good challenge. And from what I've read, these are worth the effort in temperament and laying. I guess I should invest in an auto egg turner for the incubator before I order eggs though!

Thank you all so much for the responses. I am now determined to eventually have a small flock of these beautiful birds!

Ok, with you gals with more smarts than I ......or guys......I have a blue cochin roo and a black cochin roo. Now if they breed with the buff orps???? I have four ee's also so I am not sure which chicks came from the b.o.'s but maybe I can just keep breeding them and see what I get since my luck with blue orp eggs is nil?
