Our Buff Orpingtons

The Orpington is a British breed of chicken first bred in the town of Orpington in Kent, England in 1886 as a dual-purpose breed. Although the breed was originally black (said to hide the dirt) it was not long before the Buff variety evolved and us now the most popular colouration of the Orpington.

Another big bird, Orpington roosters weight in at around 4.5kg with the hens not too far behind at an average of 3.9kg.

A favourite of the poultry owners, Buff Orpingtons are gentle giants of the chicken world. They are relatively quiet, very docile and make fantastic pets! Hens are known for their broody temperament but make excellent mothers. In fact we have had or hens sit in turkey and geese eggs with a great deal of success.

The meat of the Orpington chicken is tender, juicy and of fine flavour.  The skin is white, thin and tender. The eggs are relatively large and brown in colour. Hens produce on average 200-280 eggs a year.

We only release our Buff Orpingtons at a minimum age of three months. Prices start at 2000 pesos per head. Delivery can be arranged (at cost) throughout Bohol.
