@Pete fernBonnie they went to a new home last night

it's a little redder than what photo shows

the one in the front has been slower than the one in back for it's tail feathers to fill in

I know they are rare. One is a rooster, I have no doubts. The other I believe is but yes there is a chance it's not. I have had several look at them in person and say they are both males.

no crowing yet, but we are fairly certain they both are roo's.

I have 2 lavender orpington roosters in need of new homes. They're about 15 weeks old. Located in Pikeville, NC

hi all! i'm still new ( haven't posted but a couple times in here). I'm located in pikeville, nc and have 2 lavender orpington roosters (i'm not certain of their age but we think between 12-16 weeks old). We need to find these guys good homes. Could anyone point me to the right forum? I haven't...

We definitely will wait. I'm going to hold out hope at least one is a female. The lady we got them from said we could bring them back if they were roo's and choose 2 more. She just couldn't promise she would have any lavender's.

@Basskids08 from a lady a little over an hour from where we live. i believe she breeds and she rescues. @donrae that's what my husband had said. i know our other girls didn't have combs but they are different breeds ( 2 easter eggers and 1 barred rock). i wasn't sure if perhaps it was just a...

they are such pretty birds! talking with friends who have young roo's, i'm certain the one is a boy. i'm only concerned about the other because she has a comb/wattles too but they are smaller and not red. is it possible to have a female with a comb/wattle that looks like that? our middle girls...

1st photo is one of left in original post, 2nd is one on right, bottom is both their tails. They're rather difficult to get photos of this morning
