At last, thank goodness, I hatched some chocolate chicks from my split cock over my chocolate hens. I got two chocs that hatched out of three eggs and one was black. hip hip hurray.

The last three eggs, all were black and the previous 13 of which 11 hatched were all black, b oo hoo!!! not my luck I thought.

Hatched these lovely two out but alas they are a Christmas present for somebody that ordered these little chooks over 2 months ago. !!!!@@@@!!! and the rest of naughty language!!! Anyway I suppose I can breed more later and the money would go towards paying for a wooden shed anyways. pity - I would love to keep them. never mind, and no, I am not selling them to you lot, nor saying to the person that they have died, (although that had crossed my mind, but fair dos a deal is a deal and must not back out of that one) So off they go to their new home on Christmas Eve, aaahh how sweet is that? Isn't he a lucky fella to get not just one but two!!!
I hope one turns out to be a beast of a noisey cockerel and she cant keep it and has to return it!!! ha ha Sandy

aw bad luck! but also its good that you hatched those two. chocolate orpingtons are rather nice but come at quite a cost!! lol

No mine are the cheapest around am not waiting for them to be 6 weeks old and charging £4/500 each for them. Mine are reachable prices and sold at day olds. only limited numbers too

cool!, im glad to here that there is someone trying to promote the coloure and do whats best for the breed instead of charging insane amounts of money for the birds, also i think its great that you sell day-olds :)

I bet the new owners were delighted! It pays to be nice, and you'll probably get a whole clutch full of chocs in your next hatch
