Anita Heatherly on Facebook has a ton of varieties. Most of the patterned birds are available in multiple base colors. So Cuckoo can be Blue, Black, Splash, Lavender, Chocolate, Red, Lemon, etc. Same with Laced. Plus Mottled.

I love my buff, she is the calmest, smartest, and most affectionate chick in my mixed flock. How amazing that the orpingtons come in so many colors, and they're all gorgeous!

I only have 2 lavender orpingtons. I am not a big fan, but I can always sell them, people like LO. I got them at a good deal.

I had some LO hens last year before selling them, BUT first I breed them with a EE. I was hoping for Lavender looking hens that lay a green egg. Their chicks were blue, and now they are old enough to lay, I am getting blue eggs but I have not figured out which hen is laying which egg yet.

I still have a Buff, lost a Lavender to an eagle (a sweet girl that my wife loved), and just got a Chocolate.

I love my Jubilee especially her fluffy butt (even though I have to trim it) She's super sweet unless you are wearing flip flops...then she will run in and try to pull your toes off like they're worms

She is lovely!

I don't dare wear open toe shoes, entire flock believes my toes are worm treats!
