“I ordered these guys when My Pet Chicken first started offering them, and they were gorgeous. They have also been very healthy and hearty. I ordered one in 2012, and when I returned to university the next year, I took her with me. She made the two hour drive and acclimated well, and we've been here ever since. She died a few days ago (April 2019), and though she stopped laying daily long ago, even up until she died, I was getting a couple of eggs a week out of her (I have two of her eggs in an incubator now-fingers crossed they hatch!). She (and all the blue/black/splash Orpingtons I have ordered) was a very sweet, laid back, gorgeous ball of floof. She had beautiful blue color saturation, a nice, tight comb, and the best gentle disposition ever. I have ordered more for this year, and they will be shipped this week. Wonderful birds.”
“Orpingtons are easy to love but my blue, Gigi is so striking! She is such a sweet and gentle girl that strides long with absolute majesty. I was so excited when I ordered her and she does not disappoint.”
“I received three chicks (different breeds) in mid-July and all three were so healthy! I adore my BlueO -- I guess I got lucky because she is true blue and quite beautiful. She's so sweet and doesn't bother with the pecking order antics of her sisters. She's just chill. She actually gets the best treats because her sisters will fight over one piece of food while she quietly eats up the rest! Smart and sweet, I love this breed.”
“I ordered 3 chicks and was so happy to see that I got a blue, splash, and black chick. Whomever picked my chicks did an amazing job and I thank them for the variety.
They all arrived healthy and are thriving in their new home. Regina is the splash and is showing her diva personality by strutting herself all around the enclosure while stormy, our blue, is busy showing off some impressive athletic skills. 007 is having a good time hiding and blending in with the austrolops, she has been gathering intel since we removed her leg band. We hope her mission will be over soon and she takes off her disguise so we can tell her from the others eventually.”
“I've ordered ten of these birds from MPC over the past couple of years, and only one of them was actually blue. The others are the splash color that they tell you can happen. To me, that's a ridiculously low percentage of actually blue birds.”
“I bought 4 last year and took them to my 4h show and the judge loved my black orpington rooster and hen. My rooster ended up winning champion of class and my hen won reserve champion of class. They are so beautiful”
