Lavender Orp PICS......share yours if you have some

[chickenlickin8]

I have one and she is so beautiful and a such sweet girl. Her name is Voilet and I hatched her myself back in March. Now she is all grown up and just started to lay.

Here she is from baby to adult.....

She is a gorgeous color. Does violet have the gregarious personality that buff orpingtons tend to have?

Oh my goodness, she's lovely! I love her soft color. Orpingtons are so much fun.

Mine are just 1 week old. No names yet but I am in love with them.

They are adorable! Enjoy them! I had 4 hatch out but only 1 was a girl so I kept her and sold the boys

Thanks! She is gregarious and very easy going. She started laying a couple of weeks ago...pretty pale brown egg.

I've used the wing feather method when they are day or two old. After that, you typically have to wait until there are 4 to 6 weeks. You will noticed the combs grow much faster on the boys. Stay in touch with me if you like and I'll help you sex them in a few more weeks via pics
