That could be since they are older now and have started laying eggs. I will try to post a updated pic of them. They are about 10 weeks younger than my older 7 hens, and they are bigger than my older hens now.
I bought my four Lavender Orpingtons from a local man, how do I know if the Orpingtons I have are English or not? I have tried to contact him multiple times but he hasn't responded.
I got my first batch of chicks last April and I had one buff orp. She died before she was 2 weeks old. When my chicks were 3 months old I got 4 Lavender Orpingtons that were 8 weeks old. I have loved them since they are sweet but shy and tend to stick near the rooster. It has been a pleasure...
I love all the pictures here thank you all for sharing, I adore Opringtons. I have 4 Lavender Orps 1 is a rooster and he is such a sweet heart. He has been fighting with my older hens but not all the time and he is trying to mate with them. LOL they aren't letting him get to far with that...
