I kept 3 BO hens in a chicken tractor for several months. They are big birds. They would be good for meat. Even grazing in the tractor they ate a lot of feed. Way too much. They don’t lay that well and barely paid their way. While you could use them for meat, they would eat a lot of food over a much longer time than broilers. Perhaps they would make good breeding stock for a new hybrid bird. They were used to develop the Black Australorp which IMO is a much better bird. That’s the only good thing I have to say about them!

Exaclty!! It's always amazing to walk out to the coop in the morning and have all their little faces and Fluffy butts lined up on the roosting bar. Can I add your reasons to our list of why Buff Orpingtons are awesome?
