Walburga is from Sterling Meadows Hatchery and resides at the Seward Alaska Hamptons, where she rules the roost. Casmir Lorenz and Taylor Quales raised Walburga.
We are showing Walburga as a Blue Black Splash Orpington Pullet in the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. You can view her at the Poultry Barn August 26-31.
Orpingtons were developed in England at the town of Orpington in County Kent in 1886 by William Cook. They were brought to America in the 1890s.
They tend to be smarter than other breeds, some Orpingtons have learned tricks and they usually come when their name is called. Orpingtons are a highly docile bird and are suitable for families with small children.
The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy lists the Orpington as "recovering."
