Description

Sweet Chicken Homestead
Heritage Buff Orpington
10
+ Show Quality Hatching Eggs
Heritage Buff Orpington is one of the oldest and largest of heritage breeds. With all of the imports from other countries of the Buff Orpington, and all of the new bantam sizes, it's becoming very hard to find these large heritage birds once abundant here.
They are very docile and super friendly birds. Our roosters are extremely child friendly and great fathers to chicks as well. Orpington hens are also great brood mothers.
These are very large birds of a beautiful golden color and heavy plumage. Our roosters weigh in at around 15 pounds, hens right around 11 pounds. They lay large and jumbo size brown eggs even through winter. An old time favorite like your Grandma had and such gentle sweethearts!!
Eggs for this auction will be from second year layers.

**We are not responsible for hatch rates as there are so many variables in different incubators, individual hatching techniques, and so many factors out of our control after they leave our hands, including broody hens and also during shipping. Hatch rates and fertility are two different things. Not all fertile eggs will hatch. Shipped eggs are a gamble as the process of shipment can damage them. Hatch rates with shipped eggs are less than with eggs not shipped**
We want all of our customers to have a great hatch. If you have any questions before or during hatch feel free to ask us.

The Sweet Chicken Homestead is home of The Sweet Chicken Project®
What is The Sweet Chicken Project?
Our flocks are hand raised with loving kindness. All of our flock members have names and are part of our family. On our homestead we even have a retirement home for older birds no longer laying. We love them and they are cared for through old age here, where they can live out their natural lives.
When you decide to raise chickens you have a few choices of how to obtain them. In most cases, you really don't know what kind of genetics they'll have other than the breed, and they may have come from a less than ideal situation.
Chickens carry traits, temperament and personality from their parents, grandparents and so on just like us. You really have no way of knowing what kind of temperament they will have.
We have worked very hard at obtaining the sweetest, friendliest, kindest flock of birds that not only are affectionate, but can be handled by young children. We truly love our birds and they reflect that back to all of us everyday. Yes, even our roosters are sweet & child friendly, from our proven genetic lines.
The Sweet Chicken Project is in it's 10th generation of birds with these kind traits. We offer hatching eggs carrying these fantastic genetics.
All birds are pure breed and show quality.
