Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Orpingtons are known for being docile birds. Purchase female chicks from an online hatchery. Meyer is the only hatchery I'm aware of that offers 100% sexing guarantee.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. I would suggest either red or black sex links to assure female chicks only.

We are wanting to start raising chickens with our children. We would like a breed that is docile, all female, and that will be fun. Our kids are 12, 10, and 8. Any suggestions, tips and info on where to purchase would be much appreciated...we live in central Arkansas.

Welcome to BackYardChickens! So glad to have you here in our wonderful community of friendly, helpful, knowledgeable people!
