alleycat Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 We love Buff Orpingtons but are concerned about their size, we'd ideally like three hens and this would not seem possible, at least in a classic. Have never seen any Buff Orpy bantams but was wondering if this would be a good compromise, and would three be suitable for a Eglu classic. I know they're strictly speaking not a Bantam but a minature breed but how big are they? Anyone out there with any experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Buff orp bantams have about the same body size as a medium hybrid but the legs are a bit shorter! They are lovely little things and the egg size is decent Three would live quite happily in an eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
