In looking at various options for chicken breeds, at times it seems as if different colors may be almost different breeds. Should I expect that lavender or jubilee Orpingtons will generally have the same sweet dispositions attributed to buff Orpingtons? Do white or partridge Plymouth Rocks have similar laying characteristics as their barred sisters? Obviously there is variation among individuals within a breed anyway, but are different colors any different in other ways?
I'm especially interested in the Orpingtons as the buff sound like a good starter bird, but there are some mottled orps available locally and I'm considering maintaining a black and white theme for all the pets at my house, just for fun.
