Cochins or Orps

i've raised cochins and orpingtons and I honestly prefer orpingtons (I may be biased lol). But in all seriousness, they lay a good amount of eggs for being such a broody breed. Whenever I had cochins they would only lay about 2-3 eggs a week. Where as my lovely orps most of the time layed a consistent 4.

I also like how orpingtons are clean legged which makes them less prone to mites, dirt, and feces build up. And one more thing to add is orpingtons really make great mommas! When I was young my grandmother had a batch of rhode island red chicks hatched and raised by an english orpington and it was the most precious site ever! That same orpington has raised chicks the majority of her life and she was the catalyst or driving force for my poultry passion.

Orpingtons all the way! But cochins are cute as well.
