How many people have buff Orpingtons

I have my first two buff orpingtons ever, they are about 6 weeks old. They are mean as firecrackers. "Strawberry" and "Cake" (which actually turned into a pullet and a cockerel). They just eat a lot of food and peck all the other chicks that get in their way, usually pulling out the other chicks feathers. They're fixing to be orpington stew.
 
My 3 BO eggs that were in the incubator just hatched 2 yesterday and 1 today.

Hope they are pullets.

I agree BO's are amazing. I have two Princess and Teddy plus three baby Gold Partridge Orpingtons and a Lemon Orpington.
I found this video on YouTube a while ago. It is a must see for BO lovers.
 
I have 5. 4 hens and a roo. He is about a month older than the hens which are 4 months (16-17 weeks). If I am correct in my understanding, they will start laying around 20 weeks. Hope so, I am ready to start collecting eggs. I also have 2 Barred rocks and 2 Rhode Island Red hens. I still like the BOs the most.
