Calm and friendly
I ordered 3 kinds of bantams this spring — Buff Orpingtons, Old English Game Bantams, and Sebrights. The Orpingtons are the most calm and relaxed of the 3 types. They like to be held and will climb right into my lap. Their round bodies and small heads make them look comical. They always make me smile! Thank you Cackle Hatchery for such beautiful, healthy birds.

Great little beautiful chicken
I love my Buff Orphington Bantams. They are almost four months old. How much bigger will they get than what they are now? Or are they about full grown. Just wondering
