Are you shipping or receiving these? I know you’re on the other side of the world so I’m not trying to get a set for myself just curious.

Interesting, i didn’t even know Lavender was an option. Sometimes I miss my Marans but I have I only have so much pin space and most of it is reserved for Bresse this season. I’m trying to be more intentional about breeding decisions not just letting the chickens make all the decisions.

Basically I’ve done the same, just focusing on marans. Lavender isn’t a recognised variety and I assume someone had to breed Orpington in at some point, but that was so many generations ago because the breeder imported an otherwise good quality marans cock to cross to his silvers for his lavender flock.
