    4 week old lavender Orpington

    Hi all, I received 4 sexed chicks. The one in question is a lavender Orpington. She (fingers crossed) is extremely sweet and cuddly. We also received a buff Orpington and they seem to be developing differently. Our lavender has a bright pink comb and pointier tail feathers. Please see the...

    2+ week old Lavender Orpington

    Hi first time chicken owner. I'm not allowed to own roosters in my city so it'd be best if I can identify them early and return them to the store. I've looked up online and makes don't usually have tail feathers but the chicks comb is pretty defined this young.

    5 week old Lavender Orpington & BCM Sex?

    Hey! I have 2 lavender Orpington and 1 Black Copper Maran (I think) Chick. They are all 5 weeks old. I’m leaning to all being pullets but wondering your thoughts? The lavenders are sweet and docile but the BCM is skittish and flighty. Have has all since hatched and handled daily. Thanks!

    Chicken with missing neck and bum feathers

    Hey all, I got this lavender Orpington in December 2023, she’s around 1.5-2 years old and laying great. When I got her, they said she moulted and never grew feathers back. I did watch another chicken peck at her neck but I got no peck spray and that stopped. I’ve tried Epsom salt baths, I...

    Lavender Orpington Roo or Pullet?

    We have two lavender Orphingtons, this one we are on the fence on if it’s a Roo or a Hen? Almost 7 weeks old. Any thoughts? Or characteristics to look out for with this breed in the coming weeks? Thanks for the input! We will continue to wait until we hear a crow and then will have to find this...

    Cocci and recovery (is my hen getting better)

    Recently had what we're 99% sure is a coccidia outbreak amongst our flock. Most of the girls seem to be doing reasonably fine, but our lavender orpington Lilly seems to have it the worst and is having a rough recovery. Our splash maran and bielefelder hens also seem to have it but are having a...

    6 Week Lavender Orpington 🤔

    Hi all! New chicken mom here. I have four 6-week olds.. I’ve ruled out 3 of the 4 breeds being pullets. Could anyone give me their input on this giant lavender orpington? Her legs are so long it’s almost like they fold twice when she lays on the ground. I don’t see any red yet.. totally peach...

    Aggressive chick=aggressive rooster?

    We currently have four 4.5/5 week old chicks in the brooder. One is a lavender orpington, and we are 90% sure it's a rooster based on comb and waddle development. We cannot keep roosters in our area, so the plan was to rehome him in a few weeks once we are sure it's a rooster. But to add to the...

    Hawks actively hunting my chicks

    Every morning for the last two weeks when I open the door to let them out within 30 seconds a Hawk dive bombs them and only pulls up at the last second when it sees me there. I realized that it sits up on top of the light pole at the nearby high school football field and has a direct line of...

    Lavender orpington 6 weeks old

    Her comb has no color still but today I noticed her waddles are very pink. Roo or hen? (She was bought as a pullet) She’s 6 weeks old. Anyone experience pink waddles but not the comb?

    He was sexed as a roo but at 18 weeks I’m not sure

    Help?! I’m brand new to this whole chicken thing. We got this guy at 1 day at a feed store, and were told he was male but as time goes on and I learn more and more, I’m not convinced. He does have a larger comb than the other 6 we bought that day, and his overall size is larger, but at 18 weeks...

    Lavender Orpingtons Hen or Roo

    I bought pullets, 2 of which are Lavender Orpingtons… they’re about 16 weeks now and they look different from each other. I’ve never had a rooster but thought they had spurs which neither have… I’ve included a photo of each bird. So now the question is, is there a rooster among us?
