pounds, the females six to seven
pounds. having white skin and flesh
and ptnkfsh white legs and toes.
The buff orpington is a handsome
fowl. Their rich. golden buff surface

compel admiration. Among those who
breed several varieties Of orpingtons
there seems to be the impression that
the bluffs are the best layers. They are
