Buff Orpington Bantams

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.
