    Orpington bantams

    Mixed. The longest 8 years but lost a couple much earlier at 4 years. I started out with only 4 and have added over the years, but keep my flock small.

    Orpington bantams

    I have an all Orpington flock of 10, but they are standard/full size. I am also interested in Bantams, but I can't seem to find anyone close by that breeds them. All of my girls are very easygoing, sweet, friendly. They have accepted new pullets extremely well and easily, no major fighting...

    Thank you! Purina Organic Starter/Grower crumbles. They are basically the same age as the rest of my flock and that’s what they all eat.
