lavendar orpington

I have been researching genetics of Lavender and Cuckoo for about 6 months now. I have finally started incubating and hatching eggs from my Cuckoo Orpington and now that the chicks are here I am not seeing any defined spots like I do on my legbar cross. Backstory: My hen was bred from a cuckoo...

Hey everyone, I'm not at all affiliated with Meyer Hatchery. We just ordered nine chicks from them in December 2019 and I thought people might find my experience with it useful. I had backyard chickens for years but never got chicks in the mail before. We specifically ordered a Blue Ameracauna...

Hey guys! I’m new here and we need help! One of my about 6-7 mo lavender Orpington hens is stumbling around, off balance. Anytime she leans forward to peck or tries to walk/run, she ends up falling face first. She often flaps to sit back up and seems to go backwards better than forward. She...
