What breed is this?

[Pele]

Hrm, from a reputable source that will give you quality birds? Debatable. This is a pretty rare breed here in the US. I think your best bet would be to check over in the Breeds forum with the Orpington folks (there may actually be Jubilee Orpington thread). You might find someone who would be willing to sell a couple of culls to you for a discounted price if you were just going to use them as pets. Hope that helps a bit!

holy crow $999.00 for a juvenile pair[FONT=Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]?!! [/FONT]

I get that they are rare but that's a lot of money. Maybe they lay golden eggs.

Not that this price is much easier to swallow for an unsexed day old chick, but it is $199, not $999.

$999.00 for a pair of almost mature chicks!

Yep I couldn't believe it either. http://greenfirefarms.com/store/partridge-orpingtons-juvenile-pairs/ I guess if you got them and breed them you could make your money, but only if others were willing to pay the right price and if nothing bad happened to them. Not worth it to me.
