breeds photos: The Orpington
Named after the home town in Kent of William Cook who bred the
original utility Black in 1866. When superseded by a large feathery
exhibition bird, Cook responded by producing the Buff. Now there
are other colours. Orpingtons have a deep broad body, the back
appearing short with a somewhat concave shape. The head is neat
with a single comb. Dark colours have dark eyes and legs, paler
colours have red eyes and white legs. Chicks can take longer to
feather up than some other breeds. Also available in bantam size,
where it is particularly popular in the Black colour. Particularly
docile, Orpingtons regularly take top show awards and the late
H. M. The Queen Mother kept her own stud of show Large fowl Buff
Orpingtons.
