“Nutmeg is my only Orpington, and she is absolutely beautiful. She looks like the photo, but larger. She is a bit timid and not the brightest bulb, but she is a sweetheart. She is much larger than any of my other chickens, but she is not a bully and I have never seen her even attempt to peck at the others. No one bullies her either. Overall, she is just a very sweet bird that loves her treats. Now that she is laying she isn't quite as flighty and often comes up on the deck to peek in the house to see what we are up to. She lays lovely large eggs that are a light pinkish-tan in color. I'm definitely glad that I was able to add her to the order, she is worth it!”
“Our Jubilee Orpington, Lady Penelopeep Featherbottom, is gorgeous! Her plumage is a mahogany brown with iridescent green and white spots. She is also by far my biggest chook. I have a blue splash orpington who looks tiny compared to her. She is quite aloof and the only one who won't eat out of my hands but what she's leaks in affection she makes up in personality. Also, despite her size, she is FAST. She doesn't like to be caught but once my kids nab her, she is very docile. She was worth every dollar I paid for her. Also, she lays a nice sized light brown-pink egg.”
“I have 2 of these beauties! They are HUGE, ginormous eggs and wonderful personalities. Victoria steals the treat bag out of my hand and makes me chase her for it. Elizabeth is docile and sweet and a bit of a loner. Both love to be cuddled and they are excellent with the neighbor kids. Both of my girls enjoy the chicken playground including the swings. Definitely add them to your flock!”
“They are probably the prettiest of my flock! They are beautiful, friendly, HUGE, and their eggs are just wonderful. Excellent disposition for kids. They are gentle and curious. I am getting more for sure.”
“Truly a beautiful bird and was very happy to see that it really does look like the picture they are using to describe the adult chicken. Seriously considering adding another one to my already existing (16) flock plus they are gentle and friendly around people and their own flock mates too!”
