I have two Lavender Orpington hens. They are so sweet and pretty! They are big girls, though. Not overweight (though that happens often with Orpingtons), but a bit chunky! Lots of fluffy feathers. They are friendly (they love cameras and shoes!), and let us pick them up for cuddles. (One of mine is pecking at my boots as I speak!)
One con is that their fluffy butts often get dirty and need trimming or cleaning. Not too big of a problem if you don’t mind that, though.
Overall, a great breed (the Lavenders are, at least); I would recommend them!

Question: I’m in Central Oregon and while we have some pretty ugly winters, it really doesn’t drop below zero. Suggestions for the cold???
