“they are very sweeet and bold, they don't like to be picked up yet, but some are fine with it and they love to at out of my hand. One was a good friend of my spraddle leg chick, protecting her from the others by sitting on her.”
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely review. We really enjoy hearing about individual personalities coming through, especially at this young age. It sounds like your Lavender Orpingtons are already showing the gentle and people oriented nature they are known for. Watching bonds form within a flock can be incredibly rewarding, and it is heartwarming to hear how one stepped in to offer comfort and protection. Those small moments tell us a lot about temperament and flock dynamics. As they grow and continue building trust, many become even more relaxed with handling.
We appreciate you choosing us and are always here if you have questions as your flock grows.
Lisa, thank you for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear your Lavender Orpington chicks arrived healthy and thriving, even with a December delivery to Boston. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and are grateful for your confidence in us.
Thank you for your 5-star review and for the adorable photo of your chicks ! We're so happy to hear that your Lavender Orpington chicks arrived healthy and were easy to identify. They’re such a stunning and sweet breed and we hope you enjoy watching them grow!
“Of the 4 chicks we got, she is kind, easy and inquisitive. We are happy to have her in the flock, no trouble from her at all. Makes me sad she does get picked on.”
These little ones are so very sweet but we are sad that it sounds like she may be getting picked on as the flock establishes their pecking order. If you feel things are getting a bit out of hand, please feel free to check our Frequently Asked Questions section on the website regarding excessive pecking or reach out to us and we will be happy to help you with your questions and concerns.
“I love our Orpingtons. They are gorgeous. They mostly mind their own business. They don’t want to be held the way my Marans does. But they love to come eat treats out of our hands and their plumage is really lovely. Very healthy birds.”
We truly appreciate your feedback and support and are thrilled to hear that you are happy with your Lavender Orpington and that Adelaide, your beautiful girl, has brought such joy into your life. It's wonderful to know that she is as sweet as can be! Thanks again for your kind words and for choosing our Baby Chicks. We wish you and Adelaide many happy moments together!
