Yes
there is a distinction between Apa vs English. Can you post pics?
I think we posted at the same time... The pictures should be just above

The buffs look good and you probably may be able to show them. The lavender has a squirrel tail and will not be even near the APA standards. But it seems everyone shows adolescent or chicks pictures and they really can;t be assessed to their real quality till they are near full grown. All chicks(even mutts) are pretty but not all grown birds have appealing qualities.
Your lav orpingtons are gor-ge-ous!I've never seen this thread til now. I love lavender in any breed and added some lavender orpingtons to my small collection once upon a time ago. I would love to get my hands on a mottled lavender. Here in California spring is in full bloom. With all the green grass I let the peeps out for a sunshine. The same rooster in the above pic getting weighed and his leg band changed. He weighed 13lbs
I am not going to show them, but wanted to make sure that the tail was due to something normal! lol. I figured that the BO and the LO were just different varieties. The BOs look much more english and the LO look more APA, from my google search.
Are english varieties also bigger than APA varieties? My 7 week old BO are giant compared to the LO which the breeder said were 8 weeks. She said that she wasnt 100% sure. I am guessing that they are more around 5 weeks or they are just smaller :/
Thanks for your response. I find the distinctions interesting. I cant wait until they are full grown!
I do only have the 1 male and 1female lavenders in their pen. Separated from all other chickens at this time. As soon as she started to redden in the comb.
The chick in the pic is male, they are English orps. Hope we get a couple lavender
I don't plan on showing them, but I do feel that my BO are very beautiful. I have two sons and I was wondering if they might be able to show them at the county fair this summer? Does anyone know the process for this? I live in the city and we don't have a 4H anywhere near by. I wanted chickens for eggs and so my kids can have the experience of raising livestock. I probably belong on a farm! lol. I have 3 dogs also.
Are LO even considered breed standard? I thought it was an unrecognized color ...
