Papal Chickens

[SanctusPullus]

Found an article today about the Papal Farms at Castel Gandolfo and was pleasantly surprised to see they have 300 chickens (from which they get 200 eggs a day) as well as 60 they raise for meat. Are the ones in the photo Buff Orpingtons or something else?

Hmmm.... One must ask, who is the patron saint of chicken keepers?
