We are very pleased to offer for your consideration an exquisite and rare breed of chicken, the English Silver Laced Orpington, from experienced poultry farm My Favorite Chicken.
Guaranteed twelve Silver Laced Orpington chicks – straight run with males and females. This will be breeder quality. With a steady supply of eggs being laid and incubating, shipment typically occurs within 7 – 10 business days. We use professional GQF 1500 series incubator and hatcher, which provide for very high hatch and survival rates.
We are a practicing organic breeder and poultry farm based out of North Texas. We are PT tested. Our flock consists of a rooster-to-hen ratio that ensures top fertility. We have incubated and raised hundreds of chickens, from over a dozen different pure bred breeds, including heritage and non-heritage. Our breed stock is supplemented with only non-GMO, corn-free, soy-free organically grown chicken feed. In addition, we utilize mobile hoop coops so that our flocks receive fresh forage during the year.
Beautiful black lacing on a silver base, these English Orpingtons are sure to impress. These birds are 100% English lineage and have the round English body type. They are large birds with roosters reaching over 13 pounds. They also have a very gentle personality typical of most English Orpingtons.
“The Orpington is a breed of chicken named after the town of Orpington, Kent, in south-east England, which was made famous in part by this breed. It was bred to be an excellent layer with good meat quality. Its large size and soft appearance together with its rich colour and gentle contours make it very attractive, and as such its popularity has grown as a show bird rather than a utility breed. Hens often become broody and are good mothers. Although rather heavy, they are able to fly small distances but rarely do so.”
