Orpington- Spangled/Mottled

Spangled/Mottled (spangled in Europe, mottled in US) were developed in 1900 by William Cook. The birds were not very popular when created but have gained a large following in recent years. The birds weigh between 7-10lbs and lay large brown sometimes speckled egg. These large birds also often don't show their full color until after their first molt.
