Hi there! This is sort of an old post, but she turned into a beautiful lavender Orpington hen with spurs! LOL!! She is a little over 4 1/2 years old now.
That's great! I am glad I don't think I will have to rehome mine, but I have 8 and I thought I might accidentally get a roo or 1 would not make it or something, but now I am thinking hope I don't have too many! I think have read they live 10-13 years! I ordered more than I really should have...
Your Lavenders are beautiful! Do you think that they just all are really bold and friendly? That's what made me think mine was a roo and also the big comb for her head! My Austalope is also the same way! They both jump up on my knee.
Yay! I'm pretty sure she is a female, just threw me off when she got such a prominate comb at three days old and also how she use to go for my hand at day one! I guess she is just smart and knew where the food was coming from, also just so bold and friendly from day one! I guess it made me...
Actually, all my chickens I got from Meyer Hatcheries are super friendly and follow me everywhere. I got six different breeds from them and the only chicken that is not friendly towards me is the one I got from my local feed store. All the chickens I got from Meyers are always constantly...
She just developed a very big comb at three days old and she was extremely friendly and still is, so I thought she was a rooster because that is what I have heard about roosters. I have heard that they are extremely friendly when young. Maybe it just is her breed and it is hard to tell them...
I know about name changes, this was going to be Sunshine or Summer, but now I think something more like SCREECH!E7A55E63-6F27-4AB6-9E2F-0110E2F22A30 by SurferchickinSB posted May 7, 2018 at 7:20 AM
The Blues grow up to be gorgeous! Also huge! I just wanted a for sure color and with the blues they can end up blue, splash or black, but yours looks like it is going to be that beautiful blue that goes in hues sort of like an ombre haircolor:)
Oh, mine just didn't look like that and the other chicks I have seen that are Lavenders, don't seem that grey, so I thought maybe it was the lighting. The feathers look a little different, possibly like a Blue Orpington?
