    Lavender Orpingtons

    they are submissive to the rooster. One hen has started going into the coop and messing up all the pine and kinda squatting with her back end up. Their combs are all pretty red now. I'm thinking it must be any day.

    Lavender Orpingtons

    So my birds will be one year old this july. Still haven't start laying eggs but the rooster the past few weeks has finally starting being "Active".

    Sid Taylor Hens

    Thanks for the feedback. I have 1 lavender orpington rooster, and 3 lavender orpington hens to go with the 3 sid taylor hens. Wanted to make sure they would be ok together. They get along fine right now. My rooster just started crowing and my orpington hens are not far away from producing eggs.

    Thanks for the welcome. It's been such a joy! I plan to make a top for it soon. Also gonna make some small bars about 3-4" off from the bottom to get them used to sitting on them.

    i was gonna order from MPC but the i wanted orpingtons and they were always sold out for like a month, plus it was gonna be like $35 to ship. My local feed store ended up getting straight run of lavender orpingtons and I took my chances. Much cheaper and I can always move on the rooster to a new...
