I am new to backyard chickens and have a question about the buff orpingtons. This will be the first time we've ever had chickens of our own. I am wanting mixed flock. We plan on getting all the chickens at the same time so they grow up together. I've heard the orpingtons can be broody. We have kids who will be helping gather eggs and take care of the chickens. Will the orpingtons be a problem?
