What can I say...Jubilee Orpingtons are really beautiful birds. If you love sweet Orpington chickies, you'll want a Jubilee Orpington for your flock!
The Jubilee Orpington Chicken was introduced by William Cook’s family in 1897. It was created to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. It was believed that they were a cross between a Spangled Old English Game, Dorkings, and Buff Orpingtons, though some believe that the Speckled Sussex could have had a strong influence on it.
Their feather color is so unique and pretty. Pictures don't do it justice, because in addition to that beautiful speckled color, the feathers are also a brilliant teal and purple, similar to how a Black Australorps feathers are in the sunshine. They are sweet, and loving and so pretty to have around. These chickens are great for their size and temperament. They are a decent brown egg layer. A great addition to your flock.
