Excerpt from Fancy Fowls, Vol. 10: January 10, 1906
The beak of the Blue Orpington is dark in color with a trifle yellow tinge. Legs dark orange. The back is a nice blue and underneath rather a lighter slate for the ground color, The ducks should be blue all over, but penciled on the back. _the car riage of the bird is much the same as an Aylesbury duck, with a long body close to the ground.
