Lavender Orpingtons are a captivating sight in the world of poultry. Their unique lavender hue, combined with their gentle nature, has made them increasingly popular among chicken enthusiasts.
 
These beautiful birds are self-blues, so they breed true. In other words, if a Lavender Orpington hen mates with a Lavender Orpington rooster, all their offspring will have the same plumage color. They are large fowl birds. Average weight for a hen is 7-8 lbs. A rooster’s average weight is 8-10 lbs. 
 
Lavender Orpington hens and pullets are ‘late bloomers’; they usually start laying eggs when they are 24-28 weeks old. They are consistent layers, producing 200-280 brown eggs annually. They are exceptionally friendly and gentle, perfect for families with children.
