Hello from Kentucky!

I'm thinking of getting Buff Orpingtons. I want a good dual purpose breed. I have young kids, so I need something with a good temperment. Since I'm going to be sticking several of them in my freezer, I want hens that are relatively broody so I can replenish my flock.

I've raised Buff Orpingtons for years and they are a wonderful breed; very hardy, friendly and gentle (my children and granddaughter made lap pets of them), good layers of large brown eggs, and they do go broody fairly frequently and make brooders and mothers when they do. Good luck in getting your BOs.
