English Mottled Orpington Chickens
Our Mottled Orpingtons are from the Autumn Farm Orpingtons line. They are 100% English. These are very large, wide chickens with gentle personalities. They have beautiful super fluffy feathers that nearly touch the ground and they only become more beautiful with age. Patience is required to work with Mottled Orpingtons. Perfecting the breed is a slow process. The full color of the birds are not shown until after their first moult. After several moults the mottling can increase to show more white and blurred appearance. Individual feathers can also change in appearance. If a feather is plucked out the regrown feather can have more or less mottling. If you are looking for a exceptional rare breed that will bring years of enjoyment then Mottled Orpingtons just may be the breed for you.
