Pros: Mine like to be handled if started as a chick, good consistent layers of large brown eggs, pretty good at avoiding hawks, not fussy eaters & do well on free range & foraging for food, sturdy bodies,she looks for us & comes running *every single time*
Cons: Need to plan for larger bodies if English Orps for roosting and nest boxes, for a quick glance the fluffy butt feathers can make it hard to tell if there are any rear end issues, Can take longer to POL.
My friendly,buff Orpington came to us as a chick. She was handled from the start and to this day comes running to see if we have a treat & to be held. She knows that dogs and cats are generally safe but hawks & owls are not. She's a good runner if needed. They do well foraging for themselves year round but we do leave feed out. The eggs are really large with nice brown color and sturdy shells. They love mealworms and most other fruits scraps!
