The Black Orpington is a very large heavy breed. They're very friendly and docile by nature. The beautiful black shine of their feathers makes them an absolutely stunning bird. Out of all the birds on the farm last year, when guest show up to pick up their birds they always wanted to know, what is that bird and how do I get one. The Black Orpington is a good layer of a pinkish cream-colored egg. If you like poultry with big butts this is the bird for you!! The Black Orpington breed, with its gentle disposition make great backyard chickens! Our Black Orpington line is American and not English however they're a huge bird. ATTENTION: Black Orpington chicks are sold straight run! We require orders of a minimum of 10-day old chicks. These 10 can be a mix of any of our breeds. This keeps the babies warm and healthy in the box. We guarantee live delivery of 10 or more chicks. If you choose vaccinated chicks, we vaccinate for Marek's only, you will need to feed chicks a medicated chick feed. If you wish to order fewer you can contact us. This would be for an order for farm pickup of less than 10, or an order of less than 10 that has no live delivery guarantee.
