Should we buy? Real Black orpingtons?

[C Siena]

We have someone up the road whose relationship has broken (about 3 weeks ago). She has moved and needs to get rid of the coop and chickens (and a pig which we cannot take). The coop 5.5 x 4 x 4 (small), run/fencing about 10 x 20 ish, feed containers, waterers, wood And what are supposed to be Black Orpingtons: 1 roo just 2 yrs, 4 hens ( 1yr & 2 yr) 1 white mixed hen 1 yr, two 6 wk BO chicks. We are down to $200. We would expand the coop (in 2 weeks) and secure it right away.

For some reason the option to add pics is not available, so I'll reply to myself and post images...hopefully.

I would take that. But I don't know about others

Also, should the roo have the white on his tail? I thought BO were more fluffy/feathered. Thanks to all.

They are all black but look somewhat brownish in the sun. The white one is from the roo and an ISA hen. There were 2 light brown eggs in the box early afternoon.

I'm thinking I can/will secure the coop the day we get it. They are used to staying outside in the run/or on top of the coop (probably due to size). I will get the 6 adults into the coop at dusk and there are two chicks that will go into a kennel at night. All in a run during the day, as they stay somewhat quarantined from the other 2 flocks, about 100 yds away. I was thinking $100 for the coop, 50 for the 6 adults and 2 chicks, 30 for the waterers/feeders and 20 for the wire/wood. We can make it work. Once we integrate them to another flock in a large coop, we will use this coop for a brooder/quarantine coop.
