She sounds like a sweetheart,she is probably small b/c of the tongue injury she sustained when she was a young chick. Yes,orpingtons are definitely my favourite,i just love mine.Yes, she's an Orpington. My favorite breed. She lives in the house with me. She has for about two months now. She's the sweetest hen I've ever had. Some people don't always realize she is an Orpington, because she is so small. She is fully grown and she only weighs 4 lbs 14 oz. Her sister weighs about 6-7 lbs.
