Orpingtons are gentle, docile birds that are easily tamed and make extraordinary pet chickens. With regular contact that builds trust and familiarity, they become affectionate and enjoy human contact. Some even become lap chickens.
They get on well with other flock members and are not known for bullying. Nor are they particularly prone to being bullied themselves due to their large size and solid stature. It is, however, recommended to keep them with other docile breeds.
Although we strive to provide you with the highest quality hatching eggs available, we do not guarantee fertility or hatchability.
