“We ordered a mixed flock of five and they all came in on time, all happy and healthy. They are three weeks old now and they are they sweetest chicks I've ever met. I highly recommend lavender orpingtons, they are calm and get along well with people and other chickens. Our lavender orpington is the friendliest and most curious of our flock, and whenever she hears our voices she will run up to the door of their enclosure and look for us. They are all great chickens and have had so muck personality from day 1.”
“Ordered one lavender and 3 buff orpingtons. They were all very healthy but from day 1 our lavender was quite a bit larger than my buffs. 8 months later and she's Huge! We named her Big Blue (big lavender didn't really roll off the tounge).
She's doesn't like to be held or touched but does like to be near people. Surprisingly she let's my bantams boss her around which is quite funny. Seems to lay very consistently a large tan-ish/pink egg.
Overall I'm glad I have her, but only gave 4 stars because all my buff orpintons have a much better personality and disposition.”
“Graycie was a fantastic, beautiful and sweet hen! Unfortunately, I went out of town, and a predator grabbed her. My husband was home,but he doesn't spend as much time outside with them as I do. I came on here to order another one, but they weren't available. I ordered 10 other kinds. I put one of her eggs under my Silkies, and it hatched black. I guess I needed a different rooster. Mine is a Super Blue Layer purchased on here. I'm going to keep looking for a replacement. Graycie was funny, loving and enjoyed eating cat food”
“I ordered only one lavender orpington to go with my new buff babies. She is beautiful and healthy but I could tell from day one her temperment is not the same as my buffs. She is shy and skiddish and will squak loudly if I try to pick her up. It is a bit disappointing, but each chicken has their own personality I suppose. Not MPC's fault.”
“She‚Äôs a gorgeous bird. She‚Äôs also a total basket case and a bully. She pants a lot when we are near, which at first I thought was due to illness but now as nothing else seems to be wrong, I suspect she‚Äôs just an anxious bird.”
“Chicks were born on Valentines Day, shipping to Ga. I picked them up as soon as I got the message they were delivered (ten minutes). They were clean, cozy and very well packaged. The order contained 2 Red Star and Two Barred Rock as well. As soon as I took them out of the box, I had a hunch one was a rooster. He was bigger and his head was wider. Four months later, he is waking us all up at 6. I planned to get a rooster when the girls turned six months old. Sterling is a pretty good boy, as far as roosters go and he is stunning. The girls are are beautiful, sweet and smart. I have been offered a refund for Sterling, but I have not been able to get the pictures of him to them. Perhaps I could just call them at 6 a.m. and hold the phone up to his beak. If not for him, this would be five star. It's also not just the cost of the bird, but all the feed to get to the day you can prove he is a he. One of my other birds (barred) has a bad foot. We could never straighten it out, but she gets around fine and is a beautiful girl. They all love to follow me and some like to be held”
“Named Heather, our Lavender Orpington is a fluffy, modest girl. She sometimes forgets to preen, which gives her a rather untidy look, but that‚Äôs alright. She lays small, elongated tan eggs and has enormous feet. She loves to jump up on laps and will lounge there blissfully, although she usually manages to step in some mud or something worse just before doing so‚Ķoh well! We all have our faults. She is a nice, big girl, love her!”
“I have ordered the Lavender Orpingtons from this website, and they were super cuddly as soon as the package was delivered. I have super healthy chickens that are growing and thriving, and alive Lavender Orpingtons. The Lavender Orpingtons are my favorite chicken now after getting those in, I thought the polish chickens and silkies were super cuddly and sweet, but the Lavender Orpingtons are already sweeter!!”
