We have many types of chickens, and while they are all wonderful and different in their own ways, the Buff Orp is my overall, hands down, favorite chicken. They just have the best personalities. Love being held and petted, they are what I call "mid to upper pecking order packers". They are not bullies, but they don't put up with any bull, either! I have one girl HunHun, who is as faithful as my labrador to me. Every night, she requests to be "tucked in" haha. She likes me to pick her up and put her in the coop, on her perch. If I'm running behind, she'll come up to the backdoor and start pecking at it and looking in like "hey, mom, you ready to put me to bed? I'm waiting." It's adorable. They have the most serious little faces, too. I just love this breed so much, mostly because of the overall "hit the marks" they have. Excellent egg layers, great personality, mild temperament, and affectionate. They get along great with the other birds, too. We ended up getting several more after the first three we purchased were so awesome, and the newest members are turning out to be much the same. They love mama holding them and will even greet me at my car haha. Great birds, you'll love them!
