About the Buff Orpington
The Buff is the Orpington's signature form: a deep, even golden-buff carried right through the soft, profuse feathering, free of black or white shading. Introduced by William Cook in 1894, it became the breed's most popular and enduring colour worldwide. Behind the colour sit all the breed's hallmarks — a big, calm dual-purpose bird that lays dependable light-brown eggs and goes broody readily.
