Go look up their Chocolate Orpingtons and check out those prices.

All I can find are the sexlinked ones which doesn't offer males

I found this but you’re right that it only shows females.

I'm supposed to be getting chocolates that are being pulled from their assorted variety Orpingtons and paying less then what they ask for their buffs so.....
But ya it's Hoover's so who knows. They're being sent to the farm store so if I don't like what I see I can walk away.

Okay, so they're chocolates pulled out of the assorted bin? Or chocolate females and then the male's are pulled from the assorted bin?

All I'm hatching is cockerels. Or the pullets are the ones getting chilled and croaking. So annoying right now.

I mean, that makes sense. I just thought maybe you'd revised your stance on the (clearly) superior birds.

You are correct. I am not Jaws. lol

Those are not superior birds.
They are birds of equal merit with too-long feathers.

14 hatched! Two pipped internally and then died, I'm not sure why

Just double checking my (often subpar) genetic logic, it's impossible to have a paint lavender, right? Or a paint splash?

No, it’s not impossible

How (and like im in kindergarten, I beg of you)? Lavender needs 2 genes to show, and wouldn't the dominant white occupy 1 of those genes, leaving only 1 open for the other color?
