lavender orpington

Hello BYC, thought I'd finally drop in and say "hello". 1. Yes, I'm new to raising chickens (got our first flock members in March of 2022), but old to raising chickens since my family & I did when I was a kid like 20 years ago. 2. We (husband & I) have 20 chickens right now. 2 roosters & 18...

Hi all, I ended up with 4 roosters from the Lavender Orpington bin at TSC and one of them is just such a sweet boy I'm thinking of keeping him. I have a mixed flock and I'm curious if anyone has any experience with crossing a LO rooster with any of the following: - white cochin - black cochin...

Went to a swap at the end of March and picked up several chicks that were supposed to be sexed as pullets. They were very young at that point and I am a first time chicken momma so I didn't know one way or another. I had another chicken momma there who was selling vent sex them for me since she...

This is Penelope Featherington and my kids are super worried about her giant tail! This is our first time with chicks and our other two are a blue sexlink and a black australorp so we don't have other orpingtons to compare to side by side. What do you guys think? Too early to tell? Hen? Roo?

Hello! I have 4 2-week-old Lavender Orpington chicks in the brooder. These are hatchery chicks (Hoover's, I believe) we found at a local farm store in the straight run bin. One had splayed legs, and one had a severe pasty butt. So by no means do I expect that these babies are to breeder...

So these two are about 2 weeks old. I know it is still super early, but wanted to get some feedback. I have ordered a roo just in case both of these are pullets and the roo chick is set to come the first week in April. So here is my observation qt. Between these two, their wing development is...

Hi all, What do you think?? He or she?? There are 2 Lavender Orpingtons, 1 Black Copper maran, and 1 Buff Orpington. They are all the same age, approximately 2 weeks old. The Lavender Orpingtons are pullets, according to my grandma. What do you think about the other two?

Hello! First time posting here sorry if the format is weird. Here are two photos of my 10 week old "pullet" that I am very suspicious of. I believe she is a he. So...pullet or cockerel?

Didn’t know where to put this, so I’m just guessing on this side of BYC, but I have a Lavender Orpington hen, and a Easter Egger roo that looks like a Wheaten Ameraucana, with like, a lavender laced chest and stuff, I’d send a pic if I could only get one 🤣. And obviously they mated, and she’s...

We have 5 roos to re-home! One is a pure Lavender Orpington. He is about 1.5 years old. The other 4 are his offspring and crossed with Ameraucana (different hens). Two of the 4 have the fluffy cheeks and 2 do not.

Hi everyone! We have a roo that is in search of his forever home. We have too many roosters. He is a little shy of 3 months old. He is an Ameraucana (hen) and lavender Orpington (rooster) mix and is beautiful! His tail is the iridescent green/blue! Location: Richmond/Fredericksburg area, VA

I have four 2 1/2 week old Lavender orp chicks and just added five 3 day old chicks I put them together in the brooder box and my big kids are terrified of the littles!!!

I decided to incubate a few eggs and see what happens. I have one rooster and he is a Lavender Orpington named Lavender Lonnie! 😁 I incubated 9 eggs. 3 of them came from my Cookies-n-Cream. I’m really excited to see what they look like. I also did 2 Oliver Eggers, 1 EE, 1 blue andalusian, and...

Hi I know Prince Charming is a Lavender Orpington just wonder if he looks like a pure Lavender or a cross. Side note he just went through a molt and lost all his glorious tail feathers

I bought bin chicks that were supposed to be guaranteed female but after some research I believe I may have picked a rooster. I am not allowed to have a rooster in my area so I am trying to figure it out quickly and get it a new home if needed. I’ve had it for 12 weeks.

This is Violet but I’m thinking she might be a Vi Guy instead. Pullet or cockerel? 9-10 week old Lavender Orpington. She (he?) has a large comb but she has very short tail feathers so I’m not sure. Tail feathers not shown, sorry! Not crowing or mating yet like her 9-10 week old Polish cockerel...

I have two 12 week old lavender orpington roosters that need rehoming. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

I got this sweet baby from a local breeder as a lavender Orpington. I was skeptical from the onset because I’ve seen enough lavenders to wonder about all the yellowy white fluff. Anyway, the barring is consistent enough I’m thinking lavender cuckoo?? Also, gender is confusing me so. It’s very...
