I have one Buff Orpington hen about 8 months old. Last Sept. she prolapsed when she layed her first egg. It took five days for the prolapse to stay in her. The whole while we treated her she was very calm and didn't struggle which was VERY nice Since then she has been fin and lays about three eggs a week. She can be quite bossy, especially with my Marans (which is funny because my Marans are almost twice as big as her). I am really hoping that she goes broody next year.

I got three Black Sex link from a family friend a year and a half ago. So far I have been pleased with them. My only beef with them is that during the winter my one hen would start pecking the others. I confined her for a couple months then reintroduced her and she was fine. I love how they lay, all through their second year I got three eggs a day and now that they are three years old I usually get three eggs a day. They are not super friendly but will come up to me and eat out of my hand and let me pet them. I like this breed but if I had choose one breed as my favorite this breed would be in about third place.
