It is well known that the Orpington is one of the best pet chicken breeds, and the bantam size is no exception. Buff Orpington Bantams make wonderful pet chickens and are beautiful and striking additions to the backyard or garden. A flock of these golden birds foraging and ranging on a green lawn is just a sight to behold.

Buff Orpington Bantams are hardy and robust in the United States.

Standard Orpingtons have a long history in Great Britain and the bantam versions share this tradition. John Burdett is considered a major force in the development of the Orpington Bantams, performing the original breeding-down from the standard size. The second phase of breed creation involved crossing to Cochin and Wyandottes. The Buff coloring in the bantam size was created around the turn of the century. The APA recognized Buff Orpington Bantams in 1960.
