Chocolate Orpington (Hen Only) is a cross between a Chocolate Orpington male and a Black Orpington female. The pullets are a rich chocolate brown color. This cross combines the beautiful chocolate color of the Orpington with the superb laying capabilities of the Australorp. These birds make a great dual-purpose bird for any flock as they combine unique plumage color and high egg production with a well- fleshed carcass. This cross also has a docile temperament much like both of its parent breeds. Only pullets are available.
