Orpingtons like the Cochins take up surprisingly little room for such a big hen, they are not great flyers and a 3ft fence is sufficient to keep them contained, however, this will not keep predators out, so a secure enclosure is needed when you are not around. They don’t have feathered feet making them easier to mange during wetter months. They mix well with most other breeds including bantam chickens and are ideal for a first-time keeper. They would not be able to climb a ladder easily, they can manage a gentle ramp but a house on or near the ground it best for this breed.
