Pics of newly hatched lavender orpington chicks?

[cmobley]

I traded 3 baby ducks for 3 bjg chicks ended up with 2 roosters and a hen. She's not laying yet but he's over my golden comets. Eventually ill be able to hatch full blooded bjg. And I'm hoping to get a rooster from these orps and be able to sell those full blooded. Ive always had barnyard mixes I just wanna do full blooded lines for a while.

These are our 1 week old lavendar orpingtons. (10 lavendar orps, 1 black copper Maran, and one blue copper Maran) they are definitely gray but do have some light yellow down if you look closely.

My cuteness fix for the day! Thank you. I still have two months to when my chicks will be here, so I needed this!

I ordered eggs from meyer supposed to be lavender orpington eggs. All the chick pics I've seen of lavender orps they're grey and kinda white. I've only had one hatch out so far and the down color is black with yellow wing tips and yellow under throat. Is that the usual color of these newly hatched?

I just hatched some lavenders. They looked very dark at first. I'll attach 2 pics of the same baby. Hope this helps!

I also got the chance to see the parent birds and both were purebred lavender orpingtons

I see the main question was answered and lavs do look much darker at hatch.
.... but I'll post some pics for fun anyway. The lighting can change the look a lot. The yellow or white bellies, egg tooth, and pink toes disappear as they age.

My eggs came from meyer. I hope they end up looking like those hens and not the skinny pointed tail wanna be orps.

Thank you. I hope yours grow into big fluffy orps too.

This was Cuddles - my 1st lav orp back in 2014. She was 50% American Orp and 50% imported English bloodlines. No she wasn't as pretty & fluffy as the English ones I have now, but she's the reason I got into Orpingtons.

Personality and temperament are everything!
