So I want to place a order for some English Orpington chicks but can't afford to get 8 of them. The person also has Ameracuanas and Marans. If your interested PM me please and I will tell you more and who they are.

I sure hope your Lav Orpington eggs don't look like this, they need to some color of tan or light brown.

Mine didn't come from him but I have purchased many orpingtons from him none of which are laying yet. Her egg seems to be awfully blue for even an Easter egger. Very strange.

I know the guy you are talking about, he is a nice person. But nope they don't lay that color. I was hopping with the picture it would show the comb better. She's a keeper for sure with what she went through.

Heres her comb. If youd like a better pic I can use my dslr. This is just from my phone lol

Quote: @Zgoatlady , @adrianapost , Not a Lav Orp for sure. The man may get the occasional blue or green egg - perhaps he unknowingly got something mixed in a few generations back. The Lavs I have seen "usually have paler legs or yellow ones. She's a pretty girl though. I have some Lavender Ameraucana chicks, look similar in colour, but face is different (pea comb, and muff/beard) and legs are dark like that.

Heres a pic of my lav orpington amd barnevelder. I went to the guys property and saw his birds. Hes the real deal. I just texted him and he said they are a brown egg layer but a very rare bunch will lay green eggs. So I got a very rare lavender orp? Lol. Sorry shes not too pretty... I came outside a few months ago and found my dog chewing on her. I thought she was gonna die but shes my survivor and healing great!

Did you mean that dark feathered chicken in the background is your Barneveldor? If so, I think there is a mistake. It looks more like an EE than a Barnie. Here's a picture of my Barnie (from about 18 months ago when she was looking pretty rough) But you can see the coloring is much different. If I had to guess, I'd think it was the dark girl laying the green egg.

That's what I was thinking too.

Ok, I googled the Lav Orpington and blue egg, it did come up two places in UK and one on Facebook. So somehow it got in there.
I wouldn't breed it if it was my girl.

Carolyn is right, the bird in the back is in no way a Barnvelder. Has the pea comb that is so common in "Easter Eggers" too. That's your colored egg layer.
