Jubilee Orpington Chicks

Meet the Jubilee Orpington, a breed that brings elegance and history to your flock. Originally developed in England to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, these majestic birds boast both beauty and a calm, friendly nature. Their striking plumage features a deep mahogany base, decorated with black spangles and white tips, creating an eye-catching display that only gets more stunning as they mature. With their fluffy feathers, these birds have a regal appearance that will make them the stars of your coop.

Brought to the United States within the last decade, Jubilee Orpingtons have quickly gained popularity for their gentle disposition. They are perfect for families or poultry keepers with children, as their calm temperament makes them easy to handle and a pleasure to raise. These large, substantial birds—roosters weighing up to 10 pounds and hens around 8 pounds—are hardy and well-suited for cold climates, though they may be more passive when living alongside more dominant breeds.

But Jubilee Orpingtons are not just about looks—they are practical, too! Hens are reliable layers, producing over 150 medium brown eggs per year. Their dual-purpose nature makes them an ideal choice for those looking for both egg production and the companionship of a large, docile breed. With proper care, these birds can live up to 8 years, offering both beauty and productivity for the long term.

While Jubilee Orpingtons are not yet recognized by the American Poultry Association (APA), their unique heritage and stunning appearance make them a sought-after breed among enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking to add something rare and impressive to your backyard flock or want a calm and friendly chicken for your family, Jubilee Orpingtons are a wonderful choice.
