Hello Blatessa. Welcome to BYC! There is tons of info here and very good people to help you on your journey as a new chicken owner. :)

I don't know how much reading/research you've already done, but if you want to get the most out of BYC, I suggest you do the following:
  • Spend some time in the Learning Center
  • When you have specific questions, most of the time a quick search will come up with the answers.
  • If you don't find anything useful that way, post your question in an appropriate sub-forum. People here are very helpful and will answer your question even it has been asked 100 times before.
Enjoy your time here.

I have to ask...
Where on earth did you find lavender Australorp?
I adore my black Australorp hens and hope you get the same enjoyment from your lavender Australorp.

I would love to have some myself someday.

I found a farmer in Mayaka, Florida (30 minutes from me). He has been terrific through this entire process:) After I saw the Hens I knew I wanted one! The silver feathers are stunning.
