The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

well, doesn't seem like indicator of gender...just didn't know if the slow feathering meant anything else?

There is a pair of bantam chocolates for sale at bidbird from Marc, so this is the real deal!!!!!

If they don't go too high I'm going to bid.

I was able to see these in person last week -- the photos just don't do them justice, the are even more beautiful in person! The chocolate color is so hard to capture in photographs, they are STUNNING birds. I am going to bid too, but I imagine these are going to go pretty high. Someday.......​

I was so excited, I didn't look to see how long the auction is, 13 days!!!

I can't wait that long.

I'm sure the auction will go into the thousands.

I thought I was on his waiting list but I guess he needed some money to keep raising all the birds he is probably hatching out. I cant wait until he gets his reds.

Hi OSUman,

Is it wrong to try to break even for the import costs of these birds? And don't worry, I hatched plenty of chocolate chicks and they are feathering out right now.

The pair offered looks great!
