Cons: MEAN to any new girls

They make a fare amount of brown eggs,

but they sure are EXTRA MEAN to any new girls added to the flock..

Our Buff Orpington hen is sweet! She is not at all mean. But All hens are different.

I agree, I have 2 buff orpingtons and 2 bantam lavender orpingtons. Out of my entire flock, although extremely bold and inquisitive, (always first at back door) they are vicious and really attack anything they don't like. One has also started to pull all the others feathers out even if they are much bigger than her. Also bites fingers very hard! Seems too much coincidence as I have over 8 different breeds and the four orpingtons are all the same in the size group. Still great characters but I think would be better to keep as a flock of sole Orpingtons.
