Start a gentle, colorful backyard flock with Lavender Orpington day-old chicks from Overr Eazy Farm LLC in Sylva, North Carolina.

Soft lavender-gray plumage, a gentle personality, and dependable brown eggs give Lavender Orpingtons a balance of beauty and everyday usefulness.

These chicks are sold straight run (unsexed). They may be male or female, and no particular ratio of hens to roosters is guaranteed. Starting with day-old chicks lets you raise your flock from hatch.

Why Choose Lavender Orpington

• Distinctive lavender-gray plumage as the birds mature.

• Generally gentle personalities for family and backyard flocks.

• Dependable brown egg production without a commercial-layer temperament.

• A substantial dual-purpose bird with dense feathering for cooler conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does straight run mean?

Straight run means unsexed. Chicks are not separated into males and females at hatch, so this listing is suitable for buyers prepared to raise hens, roosters, or a combination.

Do these chicks need a brooder?

Yes. Day-old chicks need a prepared brooder with appropriate warmth, dry bedding, chick starter feed, and fresh water. Our chick care guide covers the setup.

When will Lavender Orpington hens begin laying?

Many begin laying around 20–26 weeks of age, depending on genetics, season, nutrition, and daylight. That is an estimate from hatch, not a guarantee for an individual bird.

How do Lavender Orpingtons compare with production hybrids?

Lavender Orpingtons offer a combination of gentle temperament, distinctive color, and dependable laying. Production hybrids are usually the better fit when maximum egg output is your main goal.
