Description:
Check out these all black orpingtons! The chicks you will receive will be all black and if you breed them together, they will produce 50% split, 25% black, and 25% lavender offspring. If you breed the lavenders together, you will have 100% Lavender Orpington chicks.
They are a large, loosely-feathered bird with an upright stance and a medium-sized single comb. Orpington's are adored for their good nature and willingness to be handled. These will be some of the friendliest birds in your whole flock and will be great for households with children which is why we consider them one of the best breeds for beginners.
Hens lay three to four, light brown eggs a week. Average weight of roosters is 8.5 pounds and hens is 7 pounds.

Baby Chicks: Black/Lavender Split Orpington Female
MyPetChicken is great. I believe this is a very trustworthy Hatchery.
We ordered seven chicks in mid- late november.
They all arrived safe. I expected a heat pack to be in the Box because we're far north with snow flyin, no heat pack. But there was plenty of bedding in the box and they got here in less than 2 days.
One chick was tired/weak and would not eat or drink. We nursed it back to health within a 4 or 5 hours using chick Vitamin Water w/grow gel, very carefully. Now they are all very healthy and happy.
Communication from the staff is great and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Out of the 4 chicks, she is timid but sweet. Easy girl in the flock, no trouble so far.

Baby Chicks: Black/Lavender Split Orpington Female
I'm happy to say the Black Lavender Split Orpington chicks that shipped early January are all thriving! There were zero losses and no pasty butt issues. I ordered these chicks from a different well known hatchery last Sept and none of them survived. They were in poor condition after shipping and perished quickly and one lasted for ten days but never really grew. Needless to say I'll never order from them again. My Pet Chicken is my most trusted online hatchery for healthy chicks and great customer service.

Stormy is by far my favorite girl. Sweet, smart, lays extra large light brown eggs and gets along with everyone…including the dogs. Orpingtons have always been one of my favorites and some are friendlier than others, just like people.

Mine is mean. Loved my buff Orpington that I wanted other Orpingtons in different colors thinking they’d have the same sweet personality. Not so. Beautiful looking hen but constantly bites me.

Baby Chicks: Black/Lavender Split Orpington Female
Brigid and Moira were born the end of March and started laying brown eggs about every other day the beginning of September, one of them laying a light brown with dark brown speckles. Moira is the self-appointed Head Hen, and has looked out for the other seven since she was a couple weeks old. They have gorgeous feathers that are iridescent towards the tips, especially around their shoulders and tails. They're pretty quiet, and don't mind being handled. Brigid is especially fond of our boxer mix.

Baby Chicks: Black/Lavender Split Orpington Female
I purchased 4 Black/Lavender Split Orpingtons (1 was an intentional male) and 4 Lavender Orpingtons. They arrived a day late (according to tracking). I picked them up right away and could hear the chirps in the Post Office. All the chirps on the drive home assured they were doing well. I could feel like the heater pack in the box when I got home. We live in Maryland and it was mid-March. I like that the cockerel was sporting a manly blue leg band. 3 days of being home (5 days post hatch) and all seem to be doing well. They love eating and chasing each other around. They are slowly warming up to humans.

Baby Chicks: Black/Lavender Split Orpington Female
I love my buff Orpington so much that I had to try a black Orpington. She doesn’t disappoint. Phoebe is so sweet, fun and inquisitive. She’s 6 weeks old and is beautiful. She runs up to me and now even jumps onto my lap. She was a bit shy at first but is really warming up to me.

Our black lavender is so stinking sweet! Doesn’t mind being picked up. Will just sit on my daughter’s lap and actually loves the attention. She is only 2 weeks old but is feathering nicely. At first she was the smallest of our crew so we called her little little nugget. She has since caught up to her sisters. Love this little girl.

Baby Chicks: Black/Lavender Split Orpington Female
Hi I realized I actually gave 3 Black Orpingtons now that they are feathering out well in the 3rd week. Plus they all stick together! Lol plus the 3 of them come running to greet me everytime I approach to check on them all. All the other chicks stay in the back skittish especially the Blue And the lavender Orpington ! Tho the lavender will come forward and isn’t as “chicken” lol as the rest! But one thing is for sure! They have big beautiful eyes!! They are definitely worth every penny! I can only imagine once they are all feathered in! I can see they will good hens! Btw! One is a rooster that I picked .. so even he is a good Blk Orpington boy!!! Extremely happy customer here!! I’m gonna order more next spring of all 3 variety of Orpingtons!
