Lavender Orpington vs. Blue Australorp?

[dorklandresident]

Do you have any pictures of adults with this? I have LOs I got from a local breeder that does mostly rare breeds. I don't think mine have shredded feathers, but now I am not so sure.

They were $25 per pullet so I hope they were good quality...

Feathers are all over they are split and usually take forever to feather in

So is it mostly just noticable in the tails?

Wow, you have some nice looking LOs, they usually don't look that good.

I am happy to hear that. I got them from littlemanpoultry.com. I actually drove over an hour to pick them up at the farm. The pullets had to be pick up,but I believe they ship eggs and maybe chicks.

Agreed that your LO's feathers look very nice and rounded and not shredded from what I can see. Super impressive and huge compliments to your breeder. $25 is a steal for a well-bred pullet in my higher COL area at least, I see folks on Craigslist trying to sell "rare" <12 week old chicks for $60. Good times
