Welcome to Ramsley Orpingtons, we specialise in large fowl and bantam orpingtons they are all bred to exhibition standard having various colours such as large fowl in Buff orpington, Lavender orpington, Black orpington and with our most recent addition being the Chocolate large fowl orpington that we have managed to create. We also own Chocolate and black bantam orpingtons. The poultry business is run by myself (Rob) and my mum (Anita) so when you deal with us you will receive quality service. We are situated in the Midlands, UK. I am one of the younger generation breeding poultry, keeping chickens since the age of ten and has been a passion of mine gaining experience each year. We have kept Chocolates bantams for the last two years and have bred them out to top quality black orpingtons making them less related.
Orpingtons are very docile birds and with their immense size and soft almost fluffy appearance together with their rich colour and gentle contours make them very attractive. The Black Orpington was created and introduced in 1886 by poultry developer, William Cook crossed Minorcas, Plymouth Rocks and Langshans to create the Black Orpington and named the new hybrid bird after his home town in the county of Kent, UK. The Buff Orpington was introduced in 1894 to satisfy the demand for buff coloured birds.
