The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

I have seen them but I am sure they will go for BIG $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

They also are not even in the US yet.

I heard from someone that inquired on prices for chocolates from that seller and they are $250/per chick, $700/3 chicks and $1000/juvenile pair.

Too rich for my blood, I think I'll stay with my project.

I haven't paid much attention to the prices, as I'm not interested in them. If some of the other varieties (not interested in Chocolates at all) were of good quality and in the US already, I'd consider it, however.....

I have no doubt that if the stock is as gorgeous as the pictures from the UK that they will have no problems selling them for those types of prices.

Darn those UK orps for being so gorgeous!

The website does not say (that I could find) whether the stock is here or not??? Just says it will be "available" at such a date. I would not be comfortable paying those prices now for stock that was not here yet either.

On the auction itself, the owner of the auction site addresses the fact that these birds are not yet in the US.

 

[joletabey]

speaking of prices, is it OK for me to ask what pricing to put on eggs or birds that have the "Royal" bloodlines? I am really far behind on this thread, but what would be reasonable for a 50% roo, or 75% eggs?

Thanks Joy, didn't check out her auctions. I guess some are willing to take that risk..
