Oh, one more thing about my giant red Orpington, she lays tiny pink eggs and took the longest to start laying. It’s actually really funny, but that’s what you get when they breed for looks and not eggs. I still really like them and her.
I know this is an older thread. But this is my red Orpington (she’s huge!) and lavender Orpington from Mt Healthy last spring. I have a buff that looks the same as the lavender. I think the red Orpington is more of an English show type, she was about $17 so cost quite a bit more.
