We have 10 birds total, three of which are Buff Orpingtons. They are by far my favorite birds of our flock. They are very energetic, love to be around us, and very curious. I start and end the day by feeding all my birds a few mealworms in their coop and every day, one of my Buff girls roosts on my arm simply to be with me and not particularly interested in the mealworms..more interested in being pet. They also enjoy our 9 year old's company. They are still young so I cannot speak as to laying abilities, but we are enjoying their company and personality at this point!
