English-bred Orpingtons tend to have looser fitting feathers, shorter bodies, and shorter legs then American breeds. They are broad across the back and have a more rounded shape compared to American-bred Orpingtons. Despite their differences, the English are still similar to the American-bred birds as they are good dual-purpose birds laying a good number of brown eggs and have a gentle temperament.
