Buff Orpington Chicks

Description

Buff Orpingtons are generally docile, calm, and friendly. They sort of glide across the barnyard – unless they are running for treats, in which case they hike up their ‘skirts’ and run like crazy! They make great layers laying up to 280 eggs each year, and are also considered meat birds, ready for the dinner table at around 22 weeks. Since this chicken is so quiet, it does well in confinement in a smaller yard as well as mingling with other breeds in a large barnyard.
