So the last batch of Lavender Orps i picked up i came home with a Frizzle Maran Chick. I had hoped the Chick would end up being a hen and he is definitely a Cockerel.
At this point he is a light Blue. He is not full grown and i expect some change in coloring as he ages.
My main question and thought ponder is this....
what is the chance of creating a Frizzle Lavender? Now mind you this is just a fun breeding idea and not for show/quality. Unless it could get there. that i doubt. But hey you never know.
So thoughts, ideas, concerns,input all is appreciated.
Also any input on the Breeding Standard for Lavender Orpington's for producing show quality Birds is also appreciated.
My main goal for my Lav's is to invest time in producing quality birds and begin showing in local events.
What do you look for in each bird.
What do you breed out of your flock.
Pictures of project or show birds welcome!
