    What breed is the best?

    Orpingtons are super friendly and pretty good egg layers. I have two and it was really easy to tame them; they follow me like puppies.

    What breed is the best?

    My favorite chickens are Orpingtons, but what type of chicken are you looking for? Friendly, egg-laying, dual-purpose, self-reliant, etc.?

    Should I keep them together?

    You could try putting the Wyandottes in a crate for a few weeks so they can see, but not hurt, each other. Also, is the coop big enough for them all?

    Should I be worried?

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Quite a few of my chickens get paler combs in the winter while they are molting and not laying eggs anymore. I hope that's all that is wrong.

    I have two Orpingtons. One is a Lavender that has never gone broody, and another is a Buff that goes broody once or twice a year. The Buff is really easy to break if I want, but I did let her hatch out chicks this year, and she was great.

    This is April. She is a two-year-old Buff Orpington. She is my absolute sweetest chicken and will run up to anyone for some cuddles. Recently, she went broody and she is a very good mama to her four babies. She never pecked me once while she was broody either, she just growled a few times.

    This is Lucky, she is a four-year-old Barred Plymouth Rock. I named her Lucky, because when I got my first flock of chickens. They were barely a year old, when they got sick. Five out of nine ended up dying, but Lucky was one of the remaining four. She got really sick, and I tried to give...
