Verified Reviews for Orpington
Sweet natured & looks beautiful - Amanda, Hants,
I was given my BO when she was 4 & she is nearly 7 now. She was badly bullied initially by my 5 pre existing hybrids Ex commercial girls, who have since died. She has a lovely nature and although now the others have since died, she free ranges our closed in garden, chats softly to us when given tasty treats & comes into the house when she feels like it. I haven’t got other rescues yet as I can’t bear her to be bullied again. She seem’s happy enough.

Very friendly hens - Phillis, Hampshire,
Good garden hens as they are too posh to scratch, they just peck around the in the flower beds and do not create havoc with your special plants. Not great at egg laying, particularly in the winter. Very friendly and good with children. They make ideal pets. Mine lived for nearly 15 years.
- Oliver,
Buff-orpingtons are my favorite type of chicken we used to have one...but sadly it died These birds are good with goldlines but some other breeds may harm your buff 10/10 review

Very friendly bird.They always come up to me when I come and give them food. They love dust bathing and huddle up together sometimes.
