We are passionate about our poultry hobbie and it 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 three 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.
