To those of you that have breed both breeds, which do you consider the "easiest"? I mean as far as chick health, mortality rate, overall health of the adult birds,etc. and also general disposition of the chickens.
 
Well, I'd say they are a tie. The Marans seemed a tish hardier as adults, but the Orpingtons have a better disposition. Both are good layers and good sized birds. I've not had health issues with any BO or BCM I've had in the past.
