  • What colour is my Orpington

    I'm sorry but I can't get my photo to upload, but can anyone help anyway?

    I've got a trio of blue orpingtons, they were only ten weeks old when I got them and didn't have their full adult colour through. Now it's through properly the boy Legzz is blue with a black neck and back and tail (proper 'andsome mi'dears), one hen is blue with a black neck, like my other original orp girlie. But the other hen is a gorgeous shade of silvery blue, much paler and virtually the same colour as my lavender araucana, with a darker grey neck. Where the colour on the others is more uneven, with very faint hints of lacing (which matches the blues I've seen) hers is completely one colour, she's really rather lovely. Someone has said she's a true lavender Orp, but is she? I've never seen one or even a photo.

    I had a 'google' does she look like these?

      I visited someone yesterday who had lavender Orps and they look much like your girl sounds. Pity I didn't take my camera but she only had large fowl and I was after bantams so sort of lost interest! Lovely colour though.
