Red Orpington

This is the bird you want in your flock if you’re a beginner. Orpingtons are known for their sweet-tempered, docile nature. They’re a sizable and curvy bird with loose, fluffy feathering which makes them seem even larger. Red Orpingtons are a solid rust color. Orpingtons tend to be very friendly and have a pet-like demeanor. They are a productive layer of medium-large brown eggs. Note: Between April 1st and October 1st, Mt. Healthy Hatcheries has a minimum shipping requirement of 3 birds (instead of the usual 10). If you order 3 chicks to ship outside of April 1st - October 1st, the order may be delayed or shipped with cockerels for warmth, as decided by Mt. Healthy Hatcheries.
