Introduced from England in the late 1800's, the Buff Orpington became one of the most popular farm fowls in the country. With a large frame, these stately birds have a quiet disposition and are a natural for homesteading and backyard flocks. Their heavy, full plumage makes them excellent winter chickens, laying all through the winter months.
