I LOVE ORPINGTONS!
There are so many varied colors and I am collecting and want to breed them all.
My chocolates are so docile and friendly. As a matter of fact my rooster loves to be petted. He even courted me the other day with a little dance. (thank goodness he has never jumped on me!)
My blue recently died and I am sad as I was going to breed him this year with a purebred. I will get more eggs for hatching and start over.
My buffs have always been excellent layers.
Gold laced are excellent layers as well.
I do not have a partridge, but I have heard they lay poorly. Probably why they are difficult and expensive to get.
I have never eaten my orpingtons, but they are a heavy breed and are great dual purpose birds.
This year my goal is to grow my chocolate, blue and gold laced flocks and to acquire a silver laced pair!
