Description

Lavender Orpingtons are large, upright birds with a medium-sized comb and full, fluffy feathers. Their plumage is a consistent light slaty blue color due to the lavender gene.

They’re much wanted for their docile and gentle temperament, making them a good choice for families with children.

Lavender Orpingtons lay medium to large light brown eggs.

These birds are cold hardy but can decline in extreme heat. They need shade coverage in the hotter months.

Lavender Orpingtons were developed in the 1990s in England through extensive cross breeding.

The average hen weighs 8 lbs, and the average rooster weighs 10 lbs.

They’re good brooders and are known for their excellent mothering skills. They are also adaptable to various climates and thrive in both cold and moderate weather conditions.
