I wouldn't go looking to add an Orpington but I wouldn't turn one down. They look fat and delicious.
Originally they were an excellent meat breed, for which they were mainly bred. Hatchery birds are bred for eggs so they don't have the same meat quality as purebreds but still pretty good.
 
Would you please show me some of the threads that needs popcorn to read and involves war over some stuff. I love them and I have enough popcorn and microwave.

But besides color? What about temperament and egg laying or broody hens? I know mine excel at all these things! Mine have always been well behaved and awesome little pets. Like dogs! My Paco would come when called and let you pick her up. My hens lay one egg every day unless its extremely cold or occasionally really hot. My poor Betty sat on her eggs for 23 day instead of 21 because her eggs were a staggered hatch, then she defended them from other chickens but never once bit me. She protected them her entire time with them and then died protecting them! I have plenty of other stories that support why buff orpingtons are awesome.
Four in the brooder NOW. You peeps are making me even more excited (as if) about being their human mom. I am enjoying watching them grow into lil ladies. Thanks for this thread/post.
 
I have had Buff Orpingtons before and found them to be extremely reliable egg layers and potential pets. From my experience they take a little more time to warm up to you but with enough treats and love they'll come around!
