Blue & Black Orpingtons - Langley, BC on Thu Aug 04, 2011 10:22 pm

New Here
I will have some beautiful Black & Blue Orpingtons for sale shortly. I hatched out 20+ chicks this spring so now I have a surplus of young pullets and cockerels. These birds come from 2 different lines so would be nice for someone looking for some breeding stock.
These birds have the beautiful slate blue coloring with dark lacing - no washed out colors here! They are also very friendly and inquisitive and will come up to visit and peck my toes if I am wearing flip flops in their pen! All have been vaccinated for Mareks and I will be doing the ILT vax for any of the birds that are still here in a few weeks.
I am located in Langley, BC and would prefer local sales rather than shipping. If you are able to find transport with a friend or fellow ACE member, I am willing to meet up throughout the Fraser valley.
**EDIT** Okay, so this is the official list of what I have available.
Hatched May 31st - 8 weeks old
2 Blue Orpington Cockerels ( Beautiful blue lacing and will be big boys!)
1 Blue Orpington Pullet
Hatched June 25th - 6 weeks old
2 Blue Orpington Cockerels
2 Black Orpington Cockerels (one of these may be a pullet, hard to say.)
1 Blue Orpington Pullet
I am asking $20 for cockerels and $25 for pullets.
Here are the pictures:

Some of the younger birds... going through the ugly stage
I am pretty certain on the sexes of the 8 week olds, the younger ones are an educated guess. If anyone would like pictures of particular birds just let me know.
