Pictures of lavender orpington chicks

Hey all! I’d love to see different stages of lavender Orpington chicks as they feather out. Tia

Here’s mine at 5-6 weeks old

And as a little fluff

All these are taken at 1.5/2.5/3.5 wks old (taken on wednesdays and they were hatched Thursday/Friday so almost 2wks at the first I guess) adding onto these again, today
So far I can't tell gender yet, but I'm starting to think they might all be hens, but from everything I've read these are hard birds to sex until at least 2 months old.

This is them today.

This one is sleeping on my leg as I type this message. They are very sweet birds. I have a fourth which is white instead of lavender (same parents though) maybe the hen ran out of ink? I have 2 darker ones (in the pictures here) one lighter one and one that's white. I'll stop spamming your thread now, though.

I thought about teaching my babies to sit on my shoulder but then thought what it would be like to have an eight pound bird jump up on my shoulder and decided no to.

We'll see what happens, lol! I'm not too worried about it, and she did it on her own, I never taught her that.

Yeah for sure! I had one chick die at 2 days old and couldn't tell the breed... Thought it was a lav orpington that died and this white one was just a super light splash swedish isbar........ Nope! She's as big as the lavenders and acts like them, too.

This was her last week:

And this week :
