*** Mottled Lavender Orpingtons!!! ***

[matte]

Finally snapped some pictures today--

I hope these will convince everyone of just how great mottling can really look on Lavender!

These are of an 8 or 9 month old pullet. We have built up a nice size flock.

She's just lovely matte!

Congratulations on your efforts.

Do you only have Lav Mottled? Or have you breed the gene in to Blacks (or Blues) as well?

I'd love to see a picture of one of your boys too.

Thanks! Yes, only Lavender. Maybe some day....these projects just take sooo long.

I literally just gasped. Such a beautiful bird. Are you gonna breed it?

 

[matte]

Thank you! We sure are. We have 9 more pullets and 3 roos just like it!

Thanks! Yes, only Lavender. Maybe some day....these projects just take sooo long.

I hope to start my own BBS Mottled project this year, I'm looking forward to breeding this variety as well. Congratulations on your flock!

How did you do that? I have regular Mottled Orpingtons, do I just breed them with Lavender Orpingtons?
