Lavender Orpington Chicken as an Excellent Egg Layer
Lavender Orpington hens lay over 150 medium-sized brown eggs annually, making them a reliable choice for egg production. They also have a strong broody instinct, often setting on eggs and raising chicks naturally. This makes them perfect for any poultry operation, whether you are a seasoned breeder or an enthusiast with a backyard flock.
These chickens are also gentle, sweet, and super docile, making them even easier to handle, especially for beginners and families.
Orpington Breed as a Dual-Purpose Bird
Lavender Orpingtons are not just productive, stunning birds. They are also substantial in size, with males having a mature weight of up to 10 lbs and females reaching 8 lbs. This makes them a great dual-purpose breed for those interested in both eggs and meat.
Like other Orpingtons, such as Buff Orpingtons, Lavender Orpingtons are hardy birds. They can excel in various climates thanks to their dense and fluffy feathers. They are the perfect dual-purpose breed, even if your farm has a cold climate.
