Pros: Pretty, hardy,dependable layers
Very nice birds...(I have only raised the buffs) very pretty buff color, hardy and good layers of medium to large eggs. Seem to have no fear of humans and are at the top of the pecking order. I always have a few Buffs in my flock.

Cons: broody often
My buff orpington hens are great layers. They lay all winter and have good sized brown eggs. The roosters get big too.
