Spangled Orpingtons (single- and rose-comb) are black-and- white mottled fowls said by the originator to have been produced by a mingling of Dark Dork- ing, Barred Plymouth Rock, and Silver Spangled Hamburg; they are declared by other English authorities to be identi- cal with the Speckled Sussex. Spangled Orpingtons were introduced to the pub- lic in Fig. 436. Single-Combed Buff Orpington cock, a very meaty specimen ^ Note. These six breeds (the Plymouth Rock, Java, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, Buckeye, and Orpington), with some thirty varieties and subvarieties, furnish, in the standard size, weight, and shape of body of each, all gradations be- tween the Leghorn laying type and the Asiatic meat type ; in combs, all the principal styles; in colors and color patterns, almost all the distinct types found in other classes of fowls. Taking any one of these varieties, as the different stocks and as the birds in the flocks run, we find in it specimens of most (sometimes all) of the other types, and all the intermediate sizes and forms.
