These are at least 16 week old growers - They will need keeping away from older hens and on grower pellets for a couple of months (or until fully grown).
 
Please note - If you are collecting outside shop opening hours please add our purpose made transport boxes to your basket as hens will be boxed up and placed in the Click & Collect building (3 medium hens can be fitted in one box @ £2.95 each).
 
Pure Breeds - We only tend to sell pure breeds in pairs (or with other pure breeds of a similar age) unless there are exceptional circumstances. Pure breeds are slower growing and at this age wouldn't be suitable to mix with hybrids or older birds but would need to be kept separate and very slowly introduced when older. They will require a grower feed until around 20/25+ weeks old.
 
Stunning large birds. Buff Orpingtons are usually placid, friendly hens who get on with most other gentle breeds.
 
The are reasonable layers of a pale brown egg but some can be prone to broodiness.
