That's pretty neat - didn't know that.That's because the Orpingtons were used in being able to help create the Blue and Splash Australorps that are going on now. It created a little bit bigger Australorp that can produce more than the 5 a week egg that the Orpingtons average. Also, the Orpingtons were part of the mix that the Australians used when they created the Australorps.
