A very attractive, old time favorite! With a full, fluffy plumage with rich color, these birds are a popular choice of brown egg layers.
Buff Opringtons are not only popular for their attractive and full feathering, they are also a heavy bodied bird and a dependable brown egg layer. Their quiet and docile disposition makes them great for being around children. Known for being one of the broodiest standard breeds, they are also great if you would like your hens to hatch their own chicks! A great breed all around!
