Originated in England, and recognized as a distinct breed in 1901. These "Golden Beauties" are large, stately birds of quiet disposition. We chose these birds because of their calm, gentle disposition, and because they are white skinned, plump, and juicy; justa beautiful eating bird. They are also a good brown egg layer while being excellent setters and mothers. They are hardy enough for our winters too.
We hope to add "Blue" Orpingtons soon. Very gorgeous birds.
