Should I not breed these Orpingtons

You can't expect quality from any hatchery. They are bred for egg production and to resemble the variety and breed. Certainly not bred to standard nor should anyone expect them to be. They have a purpose and need but showing is not one of them.

Also one needs to remember that the hatchery's sell American Orpingtons not English Orpingtons. Comparing American Orps to English Orps is like comparing oranges to grapefruit.
