Forgot to add that my lavs never went broody but some of my laced enjoy hatching and raising chicks about once a year. I have a big blue girl who "wants" to hatch eggs but tends to be clumsy and accidently smooshes eggs/chicks. For her, we give some egg-shaped rocks and then slip the incubator...
Most orps are gentle giants, but there can be individual personality differences as well as different genetic differences. My Laced Orps lay a tan & sometimes speckled egg. My lavs have a slight pinkish hue.
Well said.
