Pros: Wonderful Temperament
Cons: Flys too well
This girl is definitely our favorite, she's super friendly and easy to handle even with small children. Her feathers are incredibly SOFT, I just love to hold her and pet her. She's not the Super Layer some have described, but I don't know if she's purebred BA so that might have something to do with it. She will usually lay either 2 or 3 days in a row then take one day off. So that's about 5 eggs per week. She's been laying a little more than 1 year and she hasn't ever gone broody, which is good for us. There's no rooster so it's of no use anyway.

It's a good thing we love her so much because we've nicknamed her Amelia Earhart! Even when we clipped one wing she's still able to launch herself well enough to fly over the 4' fence around their daytime play area.

If we ever lost her we would definitely get another.

Do all colors of orpingtons lay basically the same color egg, i.e. the light brown?
