I ordered 6 chicks (Olive Eggers and Lavender Orpingtons) and then I picked out 3 chicks in a bin with 9 different varieties. I picked all grey/blackish ones. The grey ones could be Sapphire Gem, Americauna, Barred Rock or Specialty Brown layer, or maybe I actually picked more lavender...
So I have my first lavender hen. I got her as a chick from TSC back in June. Lately she has been molting like crazy, way more than the other girls I got around the same time. It honestly looks like something killed another lavender out there because there are just so many feathers.
She also is...
This is my 8 week(ish) lavender Orpington roo (hen?). I have someone who’s going to add him to her flock next week but I just wanted to make sure I’m getting rid of a roo and not a hen! He was a Mother’s Day gift so I would be nice if he is actually a she!
