is it just the buff coloured orpingtons that go broody?

is it just the buff or the black aswell?

Any chicken of any breed can go broody. Some may be more likely than others, but in the end, it's an individual thing. I have a black Australorp at present that's broody. A black Orpington would be pretty unusual; I wonder if you have a black Australorp.

Henderson's chart tells how likely breeds are to go broody. http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html#orp

No...my Buff does go broody but nothing like my blue Orpington...

No... a chickens coloring doesn't affect their broodiness

Just because i have the option of getting a black orpington or a light sussex next year wich will all ready be broody but i will have to hope that the orpingotn will
