Yes, they are mottled with white as in Jeremy's picture above of the black mottled. That's why I added the one (blurry) picture of the back of the head. The mottling showed up easier on the shorter feathers. Lavender is already so light, that the mottling is not as apparent as it is on black or dark colors....and photos make it especially hard to see. I guess maybe I need to catch one and photograph with the wing pulled out away from the body.
Even so, I'm favoring them over my regular lavs due to the white legs and white around the eyes.

i think they are wonderful!

that is a mottled orpington , and a mighty fine one!!!!

It is a mighty fine British version of an Orp.......nice and deep, but it has a bunny tail. It is a decent mottled color.

I have some questions regarding Orps. Right now I have some young ones about 3 1/2mos old and all of them are huge. I have 2 blue pullets, 1 blue cockerel and 2 lav cockerels. Was thinking of either breeding my blues. Or taking one of my lav cockerels and when old enough breed them back to my 2 blue females. If I did that what is the possible color combo that could be hatched from this type of breeding. I also have one buff female and I think one buff male. I will probably get rid of the buff male and keep the buff female and put her in w/ the other 2 females. So if I have a buff breed to a lav what is the possible color combo that could come from that.

Thanks
