Buff Orpington Chickens were the second breed he produced, followed by white and blue varieties. Buff Orpington Chickens were a cross of Dorkings, Hamburgs, and Buff Cochins.

Chickens who lay olive, blue, or dark brown eggs bred with one ... even loving to be cuddled and great with children. The Buff Orpington tends to lay about 200 to 280 eggs per year.
