Beginning with Alfred the Buff in 1996 (pictured above), the first of my bloodline, I have been breeding Buff Orpingtons since 1996, following in the footsteps of my great grandfather who acquired some of William Cook’s stock in 1900. I am a life-member and past secretary of the Orpington Club of Australia and regularly attend the annual show with like minded enthusiasts. Over the years I have incorporated selected strains from most Australian states and in 2016 introduced a UK bloodline, imported by AVGEN, into my stock.
