These chickens are one of our most docile and friendly breeds. Our Jubilee Orpington hens are also one of our top year-round layers of large light brown eggs.
The Jubilee Orpington was named in honor of the Diamond Jubilee celebration of Queen Victoria’s reign. They were originally called Diamond Jubliee Orpingtons that were developed in 1897. The Queen received a flock of these Regal Birds as part of the celebration.
They have deep mahogany bodies covered with flecks of ruby and emerald and it’s no wonder why they were named for British Royalty. Although this variety of Orpington has been known in England for over a hundred years, it has only been imported into the U.S. and Canada within the past 10 years and is extremely rare and hard to find.
