The Orpington chicken is a dual-purpose breed, admired for its soft, fluffy feathers and gentle disposition. Originating from England, this large breed has a plump, broad body and comes in several color varieties, with Buff Orpingtons being the most popular. Weighing 7-10 pounds, they are excellent layers, producing a good amount of large brown eggs year-round, even in colder climates. Orpingtons are calm, friendly, and easily tamed, making them great pets and ideal for backyard flocks. Their dense feathering helps them tolerate cold weather well, while their docile temperament makes them easy to handle and care for.
