Pros: smart. quick learners. loving. hardy. self reliant
Cons: none
My buffs are family. They get along with our cats our neighbors cats and the chickens next door. My dh loves them. They learned my truck the first day they saw me drive away and ran out to me when I came home. I was badly hurt a couple of weeks ago and laid on the ground screaming (a proud moment). My buffs ran over to me and my closest (I don't have a favorite) stood on my chest protecting me. When my husband was able to get me into the house she followed us and got up on my chest and pressed her breast against my cheek. She did this again later when she heard me cry out. I love my Buffs and my best friend got Buffs after meeting mine. I also have Lavenders from Hinks a chocolate bantam and a black bantam.
At our house Orps rule. I am so glad I got Orps and I need to credit 2 Backyard Chicken members one who posted a video of her henny penny's coming when she called and one who posted photos of her Buffs with her beautiful girls swimming sledding and just hanging out
Buy Buffs you won't regret it.

Pros: It won't set your house, chickens or coop on fire, good price, easy to clean & assemble, inexpensive to use
Cons: none for me yet
Rec'd mine for Christmas from my DH, drove by the feed store Saturday and "miracle of miracles" the chicks were in. Bought them, brought them home, everything still in the original box. Had it set up in about 5 minutes. By the second night they are laying under it with their little heads stretched out from under it so apparently it keeps them warm enough (but I am using my craft room as a brooder & incubator room so it doesn't go below 60 at night). Gives them room to spread out or cuddle up, I have LF Orpingtons in it, 4-6 days old & set it on the middle setting, with shavings they are close enough. And I don't worry about it overheating & causing a fire like I do with the light. I am already looking at buying another as I have eggs in the incubator. The price is low enough it allows for a spare.
