I recently discovered that my lavender orpingtons (may not even be English heritage) have the shredded feather problem. I got them from a lady when they were 6 wks. She says she got the chicks from cackle hatchery.
My goal is to sell english lavender orpington chicks and hatching eggs.
I have been told i need to breed them to black. I am assuming this means i would need to build another coop and run, separating them and pairing the roo with black hens, and my hens with a black roo.
The genetics thing has my head hurting. I surely don't have the means to add another coop.
I am considering starting fresh. Buying a new lavender orpington flock.
I just wonder if i get a new flock will i end up with the same problem?
Where should i buy my english lavender orpingtons?
