Hello, Daxigait! Are those lavender orps I see?

 

[twhitman]

We've got buff orpingtons, aurcanas, California whites, a mixed rooster and three 2 week old barred Plymouth Rock chicks. Our 12 hens, got them in March, average 8 eggs a day. Hopefully when next spring rolls around we can average a dozen or more per day.

Hello, Daxigait! Are those lavender orps I see?

Hi, yes those are lavender Orpingtons. I admitt paying twice what a buff would cost because l like the color*blush*. Oh well, they are shy but beautiful. They finally left the coop for a short time yesterday after almost a week. They join my buff/EE, RIR, and Barred rocks.

where did yours orpingtons come from/// there are lavender orpingtons for sale in goodman/ south of neosho every now and then at a very good price// I cant remember what other birds they have /

 

[daxigait]

Yes, the npip people near Goodman are where I got my two. 12 weeks $17.50. I don't know what other types they have since I did not ask and you can't go to their place.

 

[daxigait]

Yeah 17.50 each is good for lavender Orpingtons.

I'm stumped. Why would two chicks be like three times the size of the third? Only thing I can think of is the bigger two are roosters or turkeys? All three have the same coloration sonim guessing roosters?

The third one might not be growing as well. I've had that several times, usually with my barred rocks. I would keep an eye on he/she/it, just to be safe

Maybe it has to do with pecking order. Maybe the 2 bigger ones aren't letting the 3rd one get as much food as it wants/needs?
