WV, Pure BBS Orps & maybe Lt. Brahma/Orp Cross?

[Tuffoldhen]

I have put the two breeds together for the winter and am getting quite a few eggs now hopefully. Any interest in pure BBS Orps and a Light Brahma/Blue Orp cross for hatching eggs? I only have BBS Orpington roosters at this time is why there might be crosses, but I'm not sure yet if the roosters are mating the Light Brahmas. $25.00 a doz. includes shipping and confirmation #.

I'll also work with you and not ship unless the weather is decent on both ends.

You guys should go for this! My birds from my Blue Orp rooster over Buff Brahma hen are marvelous birds, very hardy and friendly, too.

Why, why, why...does it have to be so durned cold?

I'd snatch these up in a heartbeat!

This post MissPrissy did of my hatching eggs she hatched out last Spring has a pic of a blue orp rooster/light brahma hen chick in it. It's the dark chick with the penciling.

ZuniBee from BYC kept some breeders he hatched from my Suede with Caroline (Blue Orp/Buff Brahma). Though Tuff's are Lt. Brahmas, you will get an idea of the huge birds these are from this cross. Here is the link to Jay's page on them
