    Also, I can easily get hold of either. I have a hobby breeder close to me that does a variety of different breeds, including Orpingtons and a little further away is an Orpington specialist breeder. Both of them have a few available from last summer and both will have younger ones available later...

    I hadn't thought of that! That's a good point. I'm more worried about them getting on but it would make sense to get younger ones with regards to egg production. I won't be culling any of my girls, I don't think I could (unless they were in a lot of pain and then I'd get hubby to do it!). I...
