Orpington Bantams are relatively new to the poultry world. They
have been developed in a few colours with more being added each season.
The Orpington is a large chicken originating in Orpington Kent.
It is a bold, upright breed with a wide chest, broad back, and smallish head and tail.
The Orpington was bred as a dual-purpose breed (meat production and eggs), but its popularity grew as a show bird
rather than a utility breed. Their large size and soft appearance together with their rich color and gentle contours make
them very attractive.
I keep one of the most
popular colours of orpington bantam namely the Buff. These birds have come from a top breeder who regularly wins
at the top level shows and I am fortunate enough to have acquired some breeding stock.
