docile

I love my chickens and they’re pretty friendly, but I was just curious on what your guys’s experience with friendly chickens were. What breeds have you found to be the most sweet and friendly?

This dove has been sneaking around my chicken coop lately. Today I tried to get a closer look & she ended up going IN the coop! She let's me get close (doesn't much appreciate me picking her up) which other doves around won't do.. but I think she's mainly looking for food. I caught her because...

I’m thinking about getting either American Buff, Pilgrim, or Sebastopols....(planning on incubating eggs)...🐣

Hi All! Well, I finally took to leap after reading up on just about all I can maintain in my head and ordered 18 chicks (all sexed females) of different breeds. Blue/Black/Splash Ameraucanas (3), Lavender Orpington (3), Barred Plymouth Rock (3), Buff Orpington (3), Silver Laced Wyandotte (3)...

After some brutal pecking that led to surgery, and now a month of isolation for treatment for one of my cream legbar girls I have decided to get rid of my three bully chickens (RIRXAustralorp) from my flock, however I’m keen to maintain the same sized flock. Aside from the bullies I have 2...

Hello! I have 1 week old baby chicks and I was just looking for some “bonding” advice. They are still quite skittish when I try to reach into their brooder and interact with them or even feed them. I have 9 baby chicks. I know I shouldn’t “reach into” the brooder per se, but it’s the only way I...

Yes, that's right. That is a silly title but it's essentially what I'm looking for right now. I have three chickens right now. Two are independent sex-links (Java and Franny) and one is a cuddly Easter Egger (Easter). Sadly, Easter's temperament is the problem we're having at the moment. We...

Hello. To explain my problem I have to start at the beginning and let you know this is my first time caring for chickens. I've had three chickens for a little more then a year. Two are Leghorn chickens, named Nuisance and Killer (the names are bad I know. They were the names that stuck) and one...

Hi have a red Bantam Cochin frizzle 5 month old cockerel who needs a new home. He would love to have a small family flock to protect. I have to re-home him because I live in a neighborhood. He is very docile and show quality although he docile like staying in a cage alone. He loves people (and...

I just picked up my new boy a few days ago. I'm new to chickens, mostly I've done ducks in the past, so trying to place this guy to a breed has been a challenge; didn't know there were so many chicken breeds. I thought he might have been a rock since he's black and white speckled but when I...

Hi, So I have a gold Wyandotte who has a depth perception issue. She was attacked by the flock and has been separated for some months now. We downsized our flock by selling all of our other gold and silver wyandottes. So I was reading about "docile" chicken breeds and was wondering, if I...
