Character & features
Buff, Lavender and Jubilee names distinguish the varieties in the current Orpington listing. Select the colour first, then compare the available chicks, adult birds and pairs within that choice.
Match the birds to your purpose: a laying flock, an ornamental group or a planned breeding setup. Talk to us about the particular birds if temperament or handling is important to you.
Suitability & care
Plan roomy housing for the adult birds and keep the run well drained. Look beyond chick size when choosing entrances, perches and flock companions.
Plan a flock around adult size, space and the balance of hens and cockerels. Have shelter, feed and fresh water ready before the birds arrive. Our chicken house and run guide helps you prepare the setup.
