The American Poultry Association (APA) first recognized the Orpington breed in 1902. The only recognized colors by the APA are black, blue, buff, and white. The plumage on the body is broad which gives this breed a stocky appearance. Considered a multi-purpose bird, the Orpington is still bred and raised for meat and egg production and for show purposes. This amazing breed is on the "Recovering" list of the conservation status. This chicken breed is known for its docile temperament and is quite popular by both breeders and backyard hobbyists.
