Looking for pure orpington chickens in solid or cuckoo colouring in any of the following;
Crele
Jubilee
Silver laced
Chocolate
Red
Isabell
Im willing to buy Canada wide in fertile eggs or young chick's or even adults or will go in on a US order as most of these colours are not available in Canada.
Not interested in blacks, blues, splash or buffs

I just saw Gwen this week and she is dispersing her flock and I think has sold all or most of her birds. She may still have some left??

Thanks guys, in no major rush as we're still trying to get our heads around what was lost in the fire, tools really add up quick from over the years.
I'll check out that link, but I also found a small scale hatchery in Alberta named Briarwood Poultry and might put in an order with them if anyone else would be interested to help offset the costs
They have chocolates in solid, cuckoo and even a mottled, isabell and crele, b/b/s/cuckoo....to name a few
I found an ad on kijiji (happy hens heritage farm) who had reds but aren't happy with the results so far so aren't selling any offspring.
Thanks

Nice looking birds, I've seen from a few places I've visited is that really the going rate for legbar eggs/chicks!?!? I have a breeding quad and am currently not happy with the consistency of the eggs, more "watery" than that of an orp or maran when cracked into a pan, the blue colour is getting lighter would like it to be more blue than a blue green but that might come with age, hatched from very nice light blue eggs.
