Dad is Isabel lavender orpington-
Mom of dark chicks is lavender or blue splash orpington
Mom of light chicks is lavender orpjngton
The second picture- I thought this chick was from same lavender orpington hen...but this chick's comb looks different. Any guesses on sex...
I picked up 3 chicks locally, and was told he would buy back any cockerels. I know lavender orpingtons are hard to tell what gender early on, but I can clearly see a difference. Can anyone confirm by these pics?
I was told he was a Barred Rock, but I got this little beauty this morning! Is he California Grey? Or something else? I have one white leghorn hen who is about 4 years old. She's mama.
Are there rooster behaviors that show up early? Sometimes the spotted on will dart in front of the solid one, and go around it, like I've seen my BR rooster do to hens.
