Lavender Orpington day-old chicks
At Game Fowls Ranch, our Lavender Orpington breeding lines are selectively line-bred to maintain authentic heavy Orpington type—focusing on broad, deep-bodied frames, loose and fluffy plumage, low carriage, clean slate/pinkish legs, and smooth, uniform self-lavender coloration ($lav/lav$). Lavender Orpingtons are famously docile, friendly, cold-hardy, and calm around children and small livestock, making them exceptional dual-purpose homesteaders and exhibition contenders.
Every chick is hatched under precise forced-air temperature and humidity conditions and undergoes a complete physical evaluation prior to dispatch to ensure active movement, clear eyes, clean vents, and complete yolk sac absorption.
To guarantee safe transit, shipments are packaged inside specialized, climate-ventilated poultry transport containers cushioned with absorbent nest padding and weather-regulated heat packs tailored to transit route conditions.
