Orpington are OF American origin.
They have yellow skin and legs
and lay brown-shell eggs The or

skin and also lays brown shell eggs.
The Mediterranean or egg breeds
are best suited for the production
Of eggs. rather than for meat. They
are classified as uon-setters, that is
rs a rule. they do not become broody
end hatch their eggs. They are not
very heavy in size.
The meat breeds are primarily kept
for the production Of meat rather
than eggs In large quantities. Each
Of these breeds is heavier and lars
or than the eggpurpose class, and
lay brown-shell eggs.
Four breeds OF the general pur
pose class are Plymouth Rock. Wyan
