Jubilee Orpingtons Chickens are a very exciting and recently imported color of everyone's favorite chickens, the sweet and personable, Orpingtons. The Jubilee color was developed around 1897 by crossing a Buff Orpington and a Spangled Old English Game Chicken and aptly named after the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. They are still very rare here in the United States. Jubilee Orpingtons are the English strain.
Like all Orpington Chickens, the Jubilees make great pets due to their calm and friendly disposition. They are also great layers of cream-brown colored eggs. They are round and fluffy in appearance, are clean legged, and have a single comb. Hens are also broody, make great mothers, and are very cold hardy.
Average mature weight: roosters 8 1/2 lbs., hens 7 1/2lbs.
