The Imported English Jubilee Orpington Thread

[chicken tows]

My males had more white feathers than the females. Please let me know if that is your experience as well. Hope you prove me wrong.
Very cute babies.

Ok...here are updated pic of the Jubilees. every week they just keep getting bigger and plumper. oh and cuter and cuter. i can't wait until all their feathers come in.

I have six Jubilee's ... The one with the most white is a hen

Those are too cute - I love the awkward stages. My Marans chicks look like little dinosaurs right now - especially the males with those combs. My initial Jubilees from KidCody fell through but I have a pair shipping today that I got on rarebreeds a few weeks ago so hopefully they'll be here by Wednesday. Now to get my coops and pens organized. Still not sure I'm keeping the Chocolates but they are sooooooooo cute.

I am sooo disappointed..... Chicken Toes is right.The ones with the most white are ROOS!! i have 4, let me say it again, 4 ROOS and 1 Pullet!!!! I don't know why my luck runs that way. So now i have 3 Roos to sell. They are so beautiful. here are some updated pic of the clan. If anyone wants to buy a Jubilee Roo before i advertise them online, let me know. On this sight i will sell them for $175 which includes a box. I think shipping runs about $30.00 and it will be shipped overnight.

I would grow then out a little more first and keep 2 with the type you like best.

With the kind of prices people are charging for these chicks, you are better off buying started pairs or trios.

Sounds like you need some of my eggs!!

Sounds like a good idea Happy Mtn. Thanks for the advice. Plus, it will be easier to ship when its a little cooler weather.
I know what you mean. that is why i bought my chocolates from Greenfire Farm already sexed. but these were an auction from Greenfire Farm.
I just cannot believe i came out with so many Roos.

Thanks for the offer Cheryl. But...unfortunately my incubating skills are not good, so I have learned it is better and cheaper for me to get them already hatched.

Cheryl, do you want to trade a hen for a Roo?
How much do you sell your hens for?
