Lavender Breeds

[Three Little Bunnies]

Hi!

I would really like to get a lavender-colored chicken at some point. I know Lavender Orpingtons are an option, but I live in New Mexico and I don't think Orpingtons are very heat tolerant.

What are some other lavender breeds that aren't too rare?

Thanks!

Ameraucanas come in lavender. I’m not sure how rare they are but we have a local guy who sells them here in southern Utah (where we have a very hot desert climate as well.) I am hoping to get some within the next year. I would love to get lav silkies but they seem to be very rare.

I have a lavender Ameraucana. They are really cute as chicks
