Mottled Orpington
Add a splash of color to your chicken yard! The Mottled Orpington is breathtaking, and since they are gentle as all English Orpingtons they are a joy to have around.
The mottling gene is varied in its expression from indistinct irregular mottles to a consistent even distribution. The desired even mottling is only obtainable after years of hard work and patience by dedicated breeders. Mottled Orpingtons are best kept by the most patient of breeders as birds can be slow to show their true color making selection of breeder birds difficult. Sometimes these birds feather out regularly at a young age, but many times the birds do not show their true colors until after they molt the first time.
The mottled Orpingtons are a favorite here. The sheer size of the birds, coupled with the eye catching black with a green sheen and white splotches makes this coloration absolutely irresistible to any chicken fanatic.
Our current breeders are from Rock River Exotics in SD and are the Autumn Farm Line. We will be adding more lines soon for genetic diversity.
