Orpingtons: Jubilee Chick
a Flower Feather Farm flock
So fluffy! So gorgeous! Jubilee Orpingtons are gentle winter-hardy birds and faithful layers of brown eggs. Their extreme fluffiness and brown/gold feathering makes them excellent yard-art as they look like a pile of autumn leaves trundling about.
Introduced in 1897 by the WIlliam Cook family to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria’s reign, Jubilee Orpingtons have a mahogany ground color with white-tipped black spangles, white shanks and feet, and red eyes.
The parent flock is one of my healthiest, frequently giving me 100% fertility rates and 100% hatch rates.
Pictures of Jubilee Orpington juveniles and adults can be found at the Jubilee Orpington Juvenile and Adults listing.
