I am in need of a special Lavender/Blue Cochin Bantam pullet, but i can't figure out where you can purchase these other than as baby chicks. I have utilized local craigslist and local backyard chicken groups and advertised my need with them but to no avail. I would be willing to have them...

This is my 6 week old lavender Americana and a light/buff Brahma mix. I think roos but let me know and hopefully I’m wrong!!

I hatched this guy out 6 weeks ago from a Lavender Orpington egg. Upon hatching, he was obviously different from the rest, and I contacted the breeder. She assured me that she had no other Orpingtons besides Lavender, and she had one hatch out just like him. Am I looking at recessive genes...

I have a white goose (Sebastopol) who was sold as a lavender gosling to her previous owner. She ended up feathering out white. Upon purchasing her I contacted the breeder and found out she had a pen of solid lavenders (should be 100% lav offspring?), and a pen with white and lavender mixed to...

Hi!! :D its my first time raising chickens and these are my five good girls! Now that i‘ve had them for 4 weeks (I suspect they might actually be 5 weeks old). A family member got them for me from ts. Supposed to be all pullets. I’ll let you guys be the judge! Good news, roosters are allowed in...

Anybody out there? Midwesterners, where you at?! I'm no stranger to farming, but sort of a newbie to chickens. I did not realize that my husband's all-time favorite animal is a chicken. Scratch that. ALL chickens. We've been married 10 years and this was brand new information in spring 2019...

I am just starting out hatching my own silkies, so far I'm just doing b/b/s and have them in a separate pen which is going well. I have a couple questions. One I think I already know the answer to, (yes?), which is: Can I put my "lavender" silkie hen in the B/B/S group? I was told lavender...

So.. I’ve been scouring and still can’t find a clear answer.. I’ve raised chooks before but this will be our first attempt at breeding and I want to get it right.. Why is it that you don’t want to breed blue to lavender? Does it weaken genes? Is it just because of the colour they produce (if...

I recieved a group of chicks that were supposed to be lavender orpingtons but found out that the chicks where the wrong color compared to ours. Turns out they were mottled lavender orpingtons. I have 1 rooster I didn't sell and my neighbor lost here lavender rooster and we were wondering what...

Hello! Can anyone share their thoughts on this little silkie chick? Do you think it will be lavender or too early to tell? I don’t know what either parent looked like unfortunately. It really doesn’t matter, it will be loved either way! Just curious :) Thank you!

Hello! First time silkie owner here, what an excellent platform this is, I’ve found sooo many answers here! I am very proud of my 3 little one week old chicks that I have had for 3 days now, a black and a yellow and a mixed colour who have settled in nicely. A different breeder contacted me...

Hi peeps! :frow After several years of working with many breeds and learning lot's along the way I need some solid advice on how to best diversify my genetics AND get the varieties I desire. I have some understanding but not enough! I also have some idea of what I need to do but as an obsessive...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share these pictures with you! These guys are almost a year old now. I am so proud of them! Which one is your favorite?

I'm looking to add a couple self blue/ lavender bantam cochin to my lil flock. Where is a good place to find some or does anyone sell hatching eggs or chicks? I only want a few. Cant find them locally in Central Illinois.

There are six chicks altogether . 4 are polish, one is a cuckoo and one (I'm pretty sure this ones a rooster) is a lavender. They are now 4 weeks old. I'm convinced 2 are roosters but unsure with the rest. Don't have much experience with this. I do know it's still difficult to tell but if anyone...
