I have 2 gorgeous lavender orpington cockerels, rare breed, who were hatched around June 9th. Both are healthy & timid, but not aggressive. Would like $15 each, but I'm willing to negotiate.
I'm located in Portage County, Ohio.
Hello,
Thank you all for taking the time to look at this post! I am brand new to the chicken world, and having trouble determining the gender of this little one.
Its a blue old English Bantam, 9 weeks old and is the only chick in my young flock with red comb and wattles. What do you think?
It smells like Christmas in their brooder today, as I hung up some Rosemary, Basil, Mint, and Peppermint. Basil was the clear favorite! I like to hang herbs or chop some up for them, and they love them! You guys should totally try it, it's safe for them to eat!

Thought I would introduce myself. My husband and I just bought our first house in a more rural mountain area of Southern California. We're going from living in a two bedroom apartment (cramped with 3 cats and potted plants on the veranda) to a four bedroom house with some land! I'm so, so...
I have 2 beautiful, so far very friendly Black Orpington cockerels. The person I bought them from as chicks said when I sent her a pic that they are "black split to lavender." I am still fairly new to the chicken world but apparently this means they could produce lavender orps. These...
This year I added significantly to my flock. In doing so I ended up with 6 Roos running around. I’d like to off load a couple since I only have 59 chickens... ha ha ha! Seriously though I am looking to sell 2 Lavender Orpington Cockerels purchased from a hatchery. They are approximately 5 months...
So I picked up two lavender orpington today. I asked for hens and trusted that's what I was getting but... Can you help me out? I don't think they're ladies. I'm taking them back Monday if they're roosters. Thank you so much!!!!
Hello guys I’m going to be incubating 12 Standard sized Easter Egger eggs I recieved in the mail! I’m also POSSIBLY going to hatch 3 EE bantam mixed eggs (from my own flock) too! I thought it’d be fun to show you guys the development of all the eggs! I will be putting them in the incubator...
Hi,
I have had a flock of chickens for 3 1/2 years. I have learned a lot since I started!!!
The most we have had at one time is 16 hens. (Roosters were too aggressive and noisy- I would like to try again with a more tame one.)
We have lost quite a few to hawks, so now we do not free range...
Hello everyone,
Lavender Orpingtons have a gene that is different than the blue gene. These have the lavender gene, which dilutes the black of the orpington into a washed out lighter color. If it is in the right lighting, they can appear to have a lavender or lilac colored hue It Is a very...
I am in search of day-old or very young lavender orpington chicks. I'm located in north east Massachusetts but willing to travel within an hour or so and to New Hampshire/Maine. Please let me know if you have any or if you know where I could get some. Thanks
I am looking for some Lavender Orpington hatching eggs or chicks near my area. I have been looking everywhere. If anyone has some please let me know, thanks so much!
I live in the Central Pennsylvania area -- can get to MD, OH, NY / am willing to drive a bit -- and am looking to purchase 5-6 lavender orpington chics (specifically hens) this spring. This will be my first time having chickens. Can anyone help me find out where I might find some nice chickens...
I have a beautiful Lavender Orpington rooster named Mr. Grey. I would like to cross him with some of my hens I currently have? I understand about the recessive gene in the Lavender color and how black will end up showing through on a First Gen chick. I am curious which breed if hen, if any would...
Hi guys!
Let me introduce myself,
I'm a newly married (June 2017), new to chickens and new to city life detail artist!
I have always wanted chickens since I was little ( and I really wanted a 6foot tall chicken according to my parents) and despite living in the country for most of my life I...
we just found out that our beautiful, sweet, Lavender Orpington hen is really a rooster and our neighborhood doesn’t allow for roosters. Looking to re-home as a pet or show bird.
