    how many years will a buff orpington lay eggs for

    i was also wondering how long they lay. I have 4 about 2 1/2 yrs old and love them. They are very sweet and friendly but have been told that they will stop laying soon. I love the eggs but also love them. Even if they only lay a couple a week would be alright with me. you all have given me hope.
