I just hatched my beauties this week, the last two today. They are beautiful. I don't ship yet but if anyone is interested I do go to Portland, OR, and The Dalles, OR to deliver chicks.
 
Any chance you could post pics (+ of the parents so I can get an idea of what they look like)? This is my first time hearing of this coloration for Orpingtons and I'm super interested and would be willing to make the drive down!

Couple other questions to ask:
- Are they vaccinated?
- Do you have an approximate price?
- Would you be willing to reserve or sell started pullets at the ~8 week mark? (unfortunately I can't have roosters where I am, although I understand if you can only sell straight run)
 
I'm getting pics of the chicks today, and I could wait to sell only pullets. At that time I would charge $30.00 for pullets. The straight run chicks are $15, but I understand not being able to have roos.

The first pic is of my roo and his girls, there is a lavender in there with him for some reason. The second is my lavender mottled roo photobombing my silver laced chocolate flock. I'll get chick pictures and post a little later.

Sorry about the blurry pics and my thumb. There are light ones and dark ones, both are really pretty.

They're gorgeous!
Are you able to ship hatching eggs? Might be interested in that for sure.
 
Adorable!! I'd 100% be willing to buy an older pullet for $30. Around what week/date would you be willing to sell them? I can set a reminder for myself to DM you then.
 
I'm changing my pricing to $10 a chick, and I can tell which are cocks now.

I'm not NPIP certified yet, I'm hoping to get that done this month to ship eggs.

They will be off lights in about 2 weeks. One of the little buggers is crowing already! That makes it easy to tell the pullets from the cocks.

Good to know. When you are NPIP, let me know. ;) Might be interested.

Or if you happen to be coming up to Bellingham area anytime soon. ;)
