I just got three hens the other day- one RIR, Blu, one SLW, Speckles, and one Buff Orpington, Buttercup. On Sunday, May 4th, I got Speckles and Blu. Right away Blu warmed up to me and was sooo sweet! A few days later I got Buttercup, and Blu immediately accepted her (I tried bringing a white leghorn into the flock, but blu was too aggressive.) For a few days now I have been carrying Blu around the yard in my arms! She is the sweetest bird I have ever had, and the breed is amazing for a first time chicken owner.
