I know that Buff Orpingtons go broody a lot. I had a buff and she used to go broody ALL THE TIME and then we finally gave her eggs to hatch when we were ready for chicks. We recently ate her and she was our only buff. We have one of her chicks that turned out to be a hen. There is another one that is a hen but I think she is from one of our other hens. My question is, do all Orpingtons go broody like buffs do or is that just the Buff Orpingtons that do that? My old Buff's hen father was an easter egger so will she most likely go broody eventually? She seems to have most of the qualities of her mother. I have two year and a half old Orpingtons. One is a Jubilee and one is a Gold Laced. I want to know if they will also go frequently go broody and hatch chicks. Are there really any differences between the different kinds of Orpingtons?
