Hi
I would like to raise and breed the lavender Sussex, Orpington, Araucanas or any breed that is lavender.
Do you know where I could find a breeding trio of these breeds?
Thank you
Nikki, Indiana
 
I haven't heard of lavenders...are you talking about blues?
 
Lavender is also called "self-blue". Its a lighter blue color than the Andalusian-type blue and breeds true.
 
Lavender is hard to come by. You might have too do a lot of searching to find them in those breeds. People are working on them, but it takes time.

True, but from his website you have to order 25 chicks. No adult birds are listed. Oh and they are bantams.

If you contact him, he does sometimes sell breeders. And yes, they are bantams, I guess I didn't read that she was only looking for standards?
 
Oops, I didn't read the "any other breed that is lavender" I just saw the breeds listed, so actually my error.

I'm actually hopefully getting some lavenders from him at the end of the week.

You're the one who stole my Lavenders!! I didn't get his email until the next day, and it was too late.

But you saved me from having a bit of explaining to do (to my husband).
