Jubilee Orpingtons – Orpingtons
The Orpington Breed of Chickens
The Single Comb Black Orpington was the first of a distinctly new breed of fowl originated in 1886 by William Cook of Orpington (hence their name). County of Kent, England. William Cook, died in 1904, just as Orpingtons were beginning to really grow in popularity. Over the years much has been written about and examined by breeders in their work to develop Orpingtons as we know them today.
