Pros: Sweet, fluffy, reliable egg layers

Cons: My rooster is kind of bratty

I love my Orpingtons!  The girls are so pretty--and they're all sweet!  My roo, Chunky, can be kind of bratty but is mainly just a ball of fluffy bravado.  They lay light brown eggs that are good sized.  My girls are only ~7 months old so they are crankin' out the hen-fruit. 

 

I got them from Cackle Hatchery and have no complaints.

Buff Orpingtons and Orpingtons are the main interest in our flock, too. They are so prolific laying all year around. We also have guinea fowl and now have added Crevecoeurs, both of these breeds are treated very hospitably by the orpingtons.
