Sorry, I think I may have posted this on the wrong forum. Anyway, they were abandoned on my property, and I took them in, and I'd like to know if anyone can identify the breed.

Wow, it looks as if you have scored some lavender orpingtons.

They sure could be! Better pics would help, but they look like pretty nice birds. I did a quick search and didn't see a thread specifically for this color, but there look to be a few active Orpington threads in the section called "breeds, genetics and showing". You might post pics there, those folks specialize in Orpingtons and can give you more info. Lavenders are pretty rare still, in my understanding, and those birds look like a nice trio.

Thank you for the quick reply! They seem fairly shy (didn't come out of the coop until noon) right now, but I'm sure they're stressed, and I've mostly had leghorns, that were very adventurous.
