Buff Orpingtons & Broodiness - Let's Settle the Debate
This beautiful Buff Orpington hen is currently sitting tight on her eggs and getting ready to hatch some chicks.
When we shared this video on TikTok, it sparked quite a debate. Some people claimed that Buff Orpingtons don't go broody, while others said that broody buffs aren't "true" Buff Orpingtons.
From our experience, we've had Buff Orpington hens go broody and successfully hatch chicks. But we'd love to hear from fellow poultry keepers and breeders.
What's your experience?
1. Do your Buff Orpingtons go broody?
2. Have you had them hatch chicks naturally?
