Buff Orpington
The Buff Orpington is one of the most beloved backyard chicken breeds thanks to its gentle personality, beautiful golden plumage, and dependable egg production. Often called the “Golden Retriever of the chicken world,” Buff Orpingtons are calm, friendly, and easy to handle—making them excellent for families, beginners, and small homesteads.
These birds are steady layers, producing 180–250 large brown eggs per year. Their thick, soft feathering provides excellent cold tolerance, and their docile nature makes them well-suited for both coop life and free-range environments. Buff Orpingtons are known for being extremely social and often become flock favorites due to their affectionate behavior.
Their full, rounded body shape and rich buff coloring make them a beautiful, classic addition to any flock. Whether for eggs, temperament, or appearance, Buff Orpingtons are a top choice for backyard poultry keepers.
