This is a dual-purpose breed, developed in England for both eggs and meat, and introduced to the States in the early 1900s. Actually, Orpington Ducks originally occurred in four other varieties (Blue, Silver, Black and Chocolate) but only the Buff are common today. In North America they are called Buff Ducks, while in the land of their origin they are called Orpingtons. These ducks lay a white or tinted egg.
