Welcome to BYC!
We're glad to have you.
I've never had Buff Orpingtons myself, but have heard that they are good egg layers that are very docile. I've had one Rhode Island Red (actually, a hatchery Production Red). She's been a very good layer, though hasn't been quite as personable as some of my other birds.
