Buff Orpington chickens

The large size and soft appearance of Buff Orpington chickens with their rich colour makes them a very attractive and popular bird. They are often broody and make great mothers. Being rather heavy, they are unable to fly, so are good backyard birds. The fluff of their feathers means they are not waterproof so they must be kept out of the rain.
