Orpington Duck 
Breed descriptionOrpington duck was created by William Cook from Orpington on the end of 19th century. He blended Cayuga ducks, Indian Runner ducks, Aylesbury ducks and Rouen ducks to create a buff colored duck, because the buff-colored plumage was popular. Later he developed Blue, Black and Chocolate Orpington versions that had white bibs on their chests. |
