    I got a surprise assortment with my last chick order and I have a few one-of-a-kind chicks that I am trying to identify what breed they are to get them some friends of the same breed. The gray one especially needs a friend and I am thinking either Lavender Orpington or Andalusian? Can anyone...

    Lavender Orpington

    Just wanted to make a thread to post pictures and talk about your Lavender Orpington's. Here are a few pictures of my Lavender Orpington's at 4 months old. The second picture shows the Pullet in the background. Don't have a good picture of her yet. She is one of my largest pullets so far...

    Chicken Show Help!

    Hi all! I wasn't sure what what category to put this thread in so I just put it in this one. I'm interested in entering one or two of my hens in a poultry show. They are both very beautiful and have the right temperaments for it, I think. They are a Buff Brahma and a Lavender Orpington. I have...

    What breed would you call these?

    I have a handful of lavender orpington roo over cuckoo Maran chicks in my backyard. Some have a splash looking color, two have copper feathering coming in on the neck and one is all lavender (may have been from a lavender hen). What would you call their breed, or are they just considered...

    Pretty boy♡

    I am mainly posting because I am surprised by the turn out of one of my first bred chickens (the only animals I was ever successful at breeding were guppies and gerbils, but they require hardly anything for that ). He is a cross between a Lavender Orpington and Sapphire Gem. His feathers feel...

    Lavender Orpington chick color question...

    Hi all! Just curious if anyone who has LO's can help me. We've bread from our Lav roo and two Lav hens a few times, but this is a first for us. Is it normal for some of the chicks to be black?? It's a lavxlav so it should breed true, right?? Am I missing something? Or will they lighten up over time?

    My first time breeding chickens~

    I have a Lavender Orpington rooster and Lavender Orpington and Sapphire Gem Sex-Link hens. I wondered how the chicks would turn out if I bred the two breeds together. Would they come out mix-matched, or favor one parent over the other, or would they be something else? So in February, I started...

We'd like to add a couple of other birds to our flock, but we're wondering how the genetics would work and what the possible offspring would look like. I know how the...

    Breed Identity help! Blue Jersey Giant? Blue Wyandotte? Sapphire Gem?

    I got these from Tractor Supply 4 months ago. They were labeled as golden laced wyandottes. Apparently that was wrong. Which is perfectly fine with me because I have one of those and I LOVE the colors of these girls!?! I have included many pics to help give help for identity. Also, after all...

    Hen won't stand, trembling legs?

    Hey guys! So I have a beautiful 25 week old lavender orpington named Chenelle that I noticed today wasn't standing with everyone else and was laying down on the floor in the coop. I figured she was just cold and coaxed her up, but she wouldn't stand. I thought maybe she was laying her first egg...
