The BANTAM ORPINGTON Thread

Thank you so much....

Would love to get a some chicks for my son to show. Anyone raise these around Sw, Mo. I love the big version of these so i bet the small version would be a good start for a young kid.

If you're looking for Bantam English Chocolates I raise them and my breeders came directly from Greenfire Farms. Just send me a PM.

Does anyone have any colors other than Black and Chocolate? I always look longingly at the bantam varieties that one OK breeder has...

Edit to add - saw that someone has BBS? Anyone on the East Coast?

You might try Aarron Hunsinger in PA.

I have several varieties including BBS, Chocolate, Cuckoo (Blue and Black, hope to work on Chocolate as well), and Mauve. I will be offering chicks and juveniles in the Spring. I am looking for Jubilee, Lavender, and Mottled/Spangled if anyone has any!

Will you be offering eggs? I would be interested in BBS.

I may offer eggs by request. I have never had much luck with shipped eggs(being on the receiving end), so am kind of leaning towards not regularly selling hatching eggs. But if you would rather try your luck with eggs, I would be willing to ship them. I can definitely ship chicks and older though once temps are more stable.

Eggs are a gamble. We have shipped our Bantam Chocolates and buyer get a 100% hatch and one time a buyer hatched 0 out of I think 16 eggs.

Okay, I will definitely keep that in mind. I have had okay (about 40-50%) hatchrate with shipped, although it really depends! Could you PM me pictures & prices so that I can also remember?? Thanks!
