It could be just the quality of the pictures, but #2 looks like it has a more pure lavender color. #1 appears to have a brownish color mixed in. So for color purposes, I'd go with #2. But then again GAM always tells me I'm full of #2.
Hmm, someone else said #3, because of the color and the body type. LOL, I just don't know!
I mean, if I am just breeding them for eggs, then body type doesn't matter, but I would love to pretty them a bit.
The same person suggested breeding the hens to a black orp rooster, so the color wouldn't fade away in future generations.
