Buff Orpington

[Fruit Juice]

I was wondering if anyone could post pics and advice on Buff Orps?
Are they good pets?

great pets! i have all BO's, and dearly love my girls. The roo does his job very well and they are all very social and good with kids.

They are great pets good egg layers and gentle giants I have one I used to have two but a stray dog got in the yard once and got her the other one was under a bush hiding I guess but here is a link to Feather Site for Images of Opringtons.

My BO isn't friendly and they are known to be friendly. My BO is a hen named Friend how do you get a shy hen to like you ????

I like mine.

Thanks for the advice! I was also wondering about how many eggs do they lay in a week? And bantamlover, I'm sorry yours isn't friendly.

Mine are all calm and nice. I get 4-5 eggs per day out of 5 hens.

same here, i get about 8-9 a day from 9 hens.

Very stand-offish birds. Not mean, but definitely not friendly.
