Originally developed in England, the Buff Orpington Bantam has been admired for its beauty and utility since it was officially recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1960. These birds have gained popularity not just in backyard flocks but also in exhibitions, where their elegant appearance and gentle personality shine. However, due to their calm nature, they may need extra attention when housed with more assertive breeds, as they can sometimes be outcompeted in mixed flocks.
