Do you play favorites? Admit it....it's OK....I won't tell the others....

This is my favorite, her name is vi as in violet. She is a lavender Orpington and is my little baby. She even falls asleep in my hand sometimes

I can see why you would pick her - that is too cute!

I play favorites cause my chickens do too! They have their favorite friends they hang out with.
Above is my baby girl, Goody Two Shoes. and the name fits her SO well.
She's sweet and very calm. Very well behaved

I could be wrong, but Goody Two Shoes may be a he and not a she! Either way, she/he is very cute.

Yes, I have a favorite. I have 4 Barred Rock hens and 1 rooster. I hatched out a dozen eggs and sold 6 to buy some chick starter. My favorite is one o the chicks (now a little over 1 month old now) that is mostly black. I call it Crow. I told my wife that a crow must have got in and fertilized a few eggs and Crow is the result. LOL. Crow is smalller than the others. I was really afraid when one of the chicks got hawk-snatched yesterday. I thought it was crow. My next favorite is one of the bigger chicks. It's tail feathers are growing really fast, so its tail is longer. I call it Sir Mix a Lot, because it looks like it has a big butt. I like it but I don't know why. HAHAHAHA.

Yes, I also have a favorite

.
Her name is Petunia, and she's adorable even though she's pretty mischievous!
Here are a few pics of her. Her feathers are really silky.

My 3 Silkies run from me now that they know little sister Chaz the Austrolorp is my favourite. She sits on my shoulders while I hang the washing out and knows that when the sun is setting 'daddy' comes home and waits by the fence until my partner comes home from work. She gets so excited when his ute pulls up that she jumps onto the top of the fence and once sprung attacked him to get on his shoulder. They're all funny and quirky but Chazzy has a special place in my heart cause shes kooky like me

Your broody Buffy sounds like my Fiesty, a one-eyed Americauna/Barred Rock cross who raised many a setting of peeps for me. She laid just fine, but you could also put other eggs under her and she would raise them like her own. And woe betide if anything tried to touch one of them! I watched her whip a coyote so bad he left the yard after trying to snag one of her peeps. the cats knew better than to try. She used to nest next to the dog house favored by my big Staffordshire, Eddy. (I have several parked in strategic places in case of bad weather while I am away.) She loved Eddy, and he loved her, and guarded her peeps as if they were his. I really miss that girl...

As far as contemporary favorites, I admit that at the moment, my heart belongs to the new baby Golden Lakenvelders that I have hatched out this spring. I am really enjoying those guys. I also put one of the smaller Americaunas that hatched about the same time in with them, because the other ones were picking on it, and now she is almost twice the size of the Lakenvelders but they are all bosom buddies. Then there are the geese I hatched out for Mother's day; my son got them for me but neglected to ask the seller what breed they were so we have been calling them the Mystery Geese until they get old enough that we can tell what they are for sure LOL. They are very bonded to me, these are my first ever geese and I was there when they hatched, so I think maybe they imprinted on me; I know all they have to do is hear my voice and they start calling. One of them has adopted the Lakenvelders which I am very happy about because if they all grow up together, I understand that the geese will protect the chickens. I have a lot of chickens, but that particular group are all my faves.

I have one Bantam Cochin that is the sweetest bird in my flock. She is low on the pecking order because she is small, so I always make sure she gets her share of the treats! SSHHH! Don't tell the others!

Maybe you should tell the others. They may wonder how she's getting so much attention and put her up at the top of the order. Granted, she may stop getting all those treats so I'm sure she won't be the first one to peep.

My favorite depends on the day, but most days Chalupa Batman is my favorite. She's loud, bossy and always trying to get in the house.

Here she is trying to sneak in the window.
