Well the lady emailed me back and she was VERY nice about it and assured me that her rooster was indeed a Blue Orp and his comb only looked like a rose comb because it had gotten frost bite this last winter and was frozen off :( So that's a relief (for me anyhow...not the rooster)...and she assured me that there was no other male that could of gotten to her hen so I can't have a mixed breed :) And did tell me that she would offer me a refund if I was not happy with their coloring later on. I figured if she was trying to get away with something she wouldn't have offered me a refund because I was totally happy with her explanation in the beginning. SO I DO have pure orps. Now the fun part is watching them grow and feather. She said it looks like I may have 2 black, 3 splash, and one blue! My initial thought was 2 of each. I HOPE that blue is a girl! AND I hope one splash is a girl. Thats what I wanted. I didn't need any blacks so they will be sold. You can see new pics of them in the previous email...they are just dolls! So I'm a happy relieved camper :)

I'm still back trying to figure out how the poor rooster got frost bite on his comb! Poor thing!

I know you probably already read about this, but just in case you havent...if your worried about combs and wattles and the cold, get you a big ole cheap container of petroleum jelly just for the chickens and put it on their combs and wattles on real cold nights or days. They wont freeze that way. Glad the babies are going to be what you thought they would be. :) Hugs, Kelly
I'm like you I believe the lady was being truthful. Hope you get what you want.
Take care, Chrissie
