Book Description

These birds, that were initially developed as dual utility birds for the meat and egg production industry, soon became popular as show or exhibition fowl. Although the first bird that was developed was a Black Orpington Chicken, it was the Buff variety that actually popularised this entire breed. The Buff Orpington Chickens are the most preferred backyard and show chickens. They are known for their unique plume coloration that has earned them the title of "Golden Chickens."
