Thought I’d share some pics of my “Lavender Orpingtons” (what I paid $$$ for), who grew up to be Easter Eggers!!!
Well, they ARE lavender, at least. These pics don’t do justice to the color.
They have charcoal-black legs, blue-grey feathers (solid color), muffs and beards.
I never wanted Easter Eggers, but they are here now, and they are very pretty birds. A little shy though. They get on very well with the rest of the flock too.View attachment 3238749View attachment 3238751View attachment 3238753View attachment 3238754View attachment 3238755View attachment 3238756

Those are some attractive ladies to be certain. I can't wait to see what color eggs they lay!

@RebeccaBoyd & @rural mouse ; Looking at Hoover's site, it must be the Cinnamon Queen. Their version is a RIR roo x SLW hen. They show a cinnamon queen hen with a single comb, but some must get the comb from the SLW (though your hens look more like a strawberry comb than a rose comb) However, this seems to be the only logical breed given Hoover's advertised breeds.

Straight combs are rrpp so the rose is going to be dominate.

Oh I am so happy to hear that. She is a very pretty hen - I am glad they have all figured it out.

Thank you! I am really happy about it too. She is not at her best now. I need to take a good picture of her once she's fully feathered.

Imagine that. Jaffar being the first rooster to fly at 8K feet!

Will he be able to breathe okay at that altitude? The air is thinner and you said he sometimes has trouble breathing. Assuming he will be okay, I just gotta see him in his helmet & goggles!

Took these today while chillaxing, Blanche and Whiskers decided I needed closer company haha

Glad you got some time in the sunshine. That should help too. (Time with the ladies is a certainty for feeling better). Looks like they missed you too
