lol. No I meant, that's how you'd get them?

Well, I sure as H-E-Double-HockeySticks wouldn't pay $200 each for them. I'd have to do some research on the color genetics at play to know which orps would be best to start with, but yes, I'd create my own.

Right! I like that spangled orp! But wow pretty birds.

Jen, you are going to love byc. Have you picked out the types of cluckers you are wanting yet?

 

[NovaAman]

do not know jack about color genetics... But I would be happy to let you do it for me! Lol

 

[Olive Hill]

I'll be happy to. And I'll give you a steep discount, to boot. $100/chick. How many would you like?

Hey Olive!

I found this last night, and I feel for the first time that this breed is best for us. It is a little pricey, maybe we can ask for a few hundred dollars less for both of them. I have been reading about this breed, and really like all the pros about them. Zeeland is not that far, just about 37 miles. It is where I was born.

They are lovely! I would love a cow or 2. But I do not have enough land...

I'm glad you found something you feel good about. BYCer Menglish has a beautiful herd of Dexters, too. Make sure you read up on Chrondodysplasia and ask about the status of the cow(s) you buy. Looks like they've got some in their herd.
