good layers

[Twigs]

hi,

does anyone know are orpingtons, good layers.
i am eagerly waiting for mine to hatch

 

[Ms.Frizzle]

They are pretty decent. The breed wasn't developed for a lot of eggs like the Leghorns, but they do lay nicely through winters.

Our Orpington does OK - not nearly as well as the RSL, though.

 

[Twigs]

thanks sounds good.

I have ! dog, 2 cats,1 tortoise, and a parrot as well as 6 orpingtons waiting to hatch 19 days and counting.

 

[Ms.Frizzle]

That's neat! Is it your first time hatching?

 

[Twigs]

Yes it is my first attempt. I went to a country show yesterday, and got 3 Buff Orpington and 3 Blue Orpington hatching eggs.
I am from london Uk

Cool! What type of incubator are you using?
