    Lavender Orpington Chick - Roo or Pullet?

    I received two lavender orpingtons when they were 2 weeks old and I think they may both be Roos... I would appreciate any feedback! One of the below images is the little chick at 2 weeks and the second is at 3.5 weeks. After reviewing photos of this breed, I think they may have been older than...

    Chicks hatched 3/5/21. The Lavender Orpington is named Lupa and the Easter Egger is named Chigusa, which means "a thousand seeds" in Japanese.

    Our Lavenders Made It Safe and Sound

    Our 3 Lavender Orpingtons made it home safe and sound! I ordered from My Pet Chicken, and loved the experience! They were toasty warm with their heat pad and everyone looks healthy! No pasty butt so far. They seem healthier than our older feed store chicks. They looked so cute in their...

    How slow is typical for slow feathering??

    So I know that each bird is different and they feather at their own rate...but how slow is too slow or is there such a thing? I got 4 chicks at the same time that are all within a day of each other age wise. I believe they’re approximately 3.5 weeks old. I got two lavender Orps and two BLRWs...

    Lavender Orpington Feather Question

    My 17-week pullet's tail looks ragged. I do not care about the aesthetics, but want to make sure this is not an issue with diet, parasites or living conditions. As a first time chicken keeper I am grateful for any advice.

    ISO lavender orpingtons

    I am looking for 3 lavender orpington chicks/pullets from show quality stock. I know lavender is not an official variety. I would consider straight runs depending on the drive, price, etc. Considering driving up to 2 hours one way. I am in southeast MO, my zip code is 63755.

    Which rooster should I keep?

    I have two Lavender Orpington roosters and one needs to go. I want to keep the one that will be best for breeding and both are not people aggressive so that isn’t a problem.

    Beautiful Lavender Orpington Rooster Central MD

    2 years old and a wonderful protector. We lost 21 hens in 2018 before we got Gandalf. Since we’ve had him, we’ve never lost a hen to a hawk attack again. He’s huge, great with kids, cars, goats, cats, dogs, and all other humans. That being said, he would need large hens because he is so large...

    4 week lavender Orpington - Gender?

    I know it’s early and likely too early, but my lavender Orpington has much thicker legs, a more developed comb, and very pointy tail feathers compared to my other two. Is this a breed thing or potential for a rooster? thanks!
