I have five Buff Orpingtons, and I absolutely love them. They are very sweet birds, and so beautiful. Three of my Orpingtons are going on 6 years old, and two of them still lay eggs 4-5 times per week. My other two are six months old and I get 6 eggs every week from each of them. If I was only allowed to have one breed, it would definitely be Buff Orpingtons. I would recommend them to anyone.
