These ducks are also called Buff Orpington ducks because they originated from the famous Orpington Farms in England. This is the same home of the well known Orpington Breed of chickens. The drake and hen are colored the same with the exception of the drake’s head which is a beautiful seal-brown matched against the soft buff color of the rest of the duck. The hens are good layers, not broody, and will weigh up to 7 pounds. Drakes are about one pound heavier than the hens.

Did you know that chicks, just before they hatch, draw into their adomen the yolk of the egg? Rich in food value and liquid, the yolk provides the newly-hatched chick with all it needs to eat and drink for over 3 days. That is why we can hatch chicks here, ship them to you , and know that they will be well provided for along the way.
