Orpingtons are big, friendly dual-purpose birds originally developed in the UK. For many small farms and homesteaders, Orpingtons are the only way to go! They're cold-hardy due to their fluffy plumage. Wonderful mothers, they do go broody. There is not much more charming than seeing a mother Orpington and her fluffy new baby chicks peeking from beneath her wings in a field of clover on a sunny day. Plus, they're gentle and friendly on top of being good layers. The Buff Orpington is the most popular of all varieties of Orpington--a pretty, bright, pale "buffed" copper color that is striking as eye candy on a green lawn.

Baby chicks can now be shipped in quantities as small as three, depending
on location (see below). 24 or fewer chicks will ship via USPS Express Mail, and 25 or more via Priority Mail,
on Mondays, but due to hatching availability they might not be shipped right away. You will have the opportunity
to select the shipping date that works best for you, and we will confirm your ship date by email. To be sure
you're going to receive our emails, please add "info@mypetchicken.com" to your safe senders or contacts list.
How to determine the best minimum for you:
Our smallest order size of 3 chicks applies to major cities only, such as Los Angeles, New York,
Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Portland OR, etc., due to the speed with which
they can be delivered. If you live within 30 minutes of a major city, the best minimum is 5 chicks.
For any town or rural area that is more than 30 minutes from a major city, our minimum is 8 chicks.
This is to protect the chicks due to increased time in transit. If you are ordering Bantams, we
strongly recommend that you add two chicks to any of the above quantities. We love our babies too
much to let anything happen to them!
