Broody Orpingtons

[LaynaDon95]

I just picked up 2 BO chicks at the feed store today. I just think they are really beautiful. I also want a good broody breed.

What is your opinion all you Orpington owners? Are they good setters? How often do yours go broody? Are they good mama's?

I also bought some young Buff Orpingtons based on what I read about going Broody and being Good Mothers. The guy I bought them from straightend me out saying 1 in ten of his would go broody. So now I am hoping at least 1 of the 4 I bought will go broody. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens?
