Lavender Orpington project ....

This is Ducky. She got that name because she loves to wag her tail. One of the sweetest girls I have. A mouse chewed her tail straight across. Urg.

My babies are no longer babies. I bought some lavender orphington hatching eggs and my silkie hen hatched them. I ended up with 3 lavender pullets and a black lavender split 1/2 english roo. They've now outgrown their silkie mom.

This is our 16 week old roo we were really hoping was a hen. A shame as we can't keep roosters and he is so pretty.

He's beautiful! I guess I'll go snap some pics of the girls today, and post them here. I bought 12, and ended up with only girls. Go figure.

I know there hasn't been any activity for a bit on this thread but thought I would try to get an answer to a question I have about a chicken we took, the owner is sure it is a male ( which is why we have it) but I am not for sure, It does look somewhat like a rooster with the comb and waddles but the feathering and tail just doesn't scream rooster... He/she is 5 months old.. Your input would be greatly appreciated, it doesn't matter either way to me, if a rooster he will replace our older Dominique Rooster, if female I'll be looking for a lav roo for her








she or he is the light greyish looking one in the middle... The owner told me it is a pure lavender Buff Orpington she got from a certified breeder.. Thought?
