Welcome to our website, we hope you enjoy it, we wanted to promote the two
colours of Orpingtons which are very special to us, and hope for you to join in with our enthusiasm for the protection
and improvement in these colours. Both the Jubilee and the Spangled Orpington are very rare in this country and need all the
support they can get, with only a handful of breeders willing to work on them and improve type, and show them, there's
not enough folks who have taken up the challenge. We aim to enlighten the guys
who would be interested in breeding and keeping them. By giving you a little insight of the breed, and of course the colours!!
So, please enjoy, and feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions.

Some really great news, we had
our AGM of the Orpington club in December at the Federation show, and put our case forwards to the club, who have voted that
the club will adopt the three colours of Cuckoo, Spangled and Jubilee back into the fold!! We have a bit of red tape to go
through with the PCGB, naturally, but the wheels are in motion! And hopefully, by the end of the year all three colours will
be a standard colour once more, and eligable to be shown in AOC or AOV classes at the shows, and top honours. The subject
of top honours will take a while, as we know that these colours for years have been badly bred and are in need of much work
and dedication to bring them up to scratch! But we're there guys! We'll soon have our ''blue-prints''
to work from, a written standard set out by the Orpington Club, and approved by the PCGB. It goes without saying, a huge thank-you
to those who have supported our cause for the past 5 years,and to those of you who joined us at the un-earthly hour at the
AGM in order to cast your vote, Thank you ALL from the bottom of our hearts. Now comes the HARD work, getting these three
colours of Orpington breeding better quality offspring! There's no excuses now!-----Jane XXXX
***We
are very sorry, but we DO NOT send birds or hatching eggs to countries outside the UK. DEFRA regulations state this is against
the law without all the correct veterinary paper work, which involves blood testing of our entire flock, quarantine of the
birds at the Country of destinations border, this all adds up to a very expensive, problematic and very long experience
for the birds or eggs. One we are not prepared to undertake.We also do not post hatching eggs, but a limited few are
for sale by COLLECTION ONLY. Sorry.
