Meet the Jubilee Orpingtons
Jagger is one of our two Jubilee Orpington hens, and is around 26 weeks old. All Orpingtons are notoriously slow to reach maturity, so it’s likely we won’t be getting any eggs from Jagger or her sister, Whitney, until early next year. Perhaps by then they will have grown the wattles (below the beak) and comb (on top of the head) common to most but not all breeds of chicken, and will look less like birds of prey.
