I would really like to have Buff Orpington. How well do they do?

I have not had one either. Would like them though

Started with 5 Golden Commets. Lost my rooster to a cat. Then in December I lost a hen with little symptoms. She was limping a but otherwise normal.

Then in February I added 4 Lavender Orpingtons.

Then I heard that a local farm store listed Black Minorcas on their list of chicks they were getting so I went with the plan of getting 4. I got those, but also brought home 4 Easter Eggers and 4 Olive Eggers.

I'm still thinking of adding more, but I think dh wouldn't be very happy.

I have had several buff Orpingtons (currently only have 1) there big and gentle although they tend to be very submissive and don’t do well with aggressive breeds (I found that out the hard way) also very hardy and will give almost an egg a day for there first year or two I would recommend them to anyone
Hope that helps
