I was told this little girl was about 8 weeks old. I just want to know if this to true she is Buff Orpington and a little cuddle bug, she is sitting on my shoulder right now. I had to take my necklace off because she kept trying to pull on it because it was 'shiny'. Other then sampling her bedding she seems to be handling becoming my 'house chicken' rather well, don't worry she is going to have a coop outside. She stopped distress crying rather quick too, hopping out of my hands and cuddling up on my shoulder and grooming herself. Eating and drinking rather well, tomorrow she gets to go outside.

 
My buff also loves to sit on my shoulder but please be careful. They love to peck at eyes and I wound up with a scratched cornea. It happens very quickly. They see the shiny object (eye) and go for it. I picked up a pair of safety glasses at the dollar store and use them for our "cuddle time." Others on this forum also confirmed the eye pecking so just because she hasn't tried it yet doesn't mean she won't. Regular glasses aren't sufficient because the peck is from the side.
 
Sorry, I didn't realize how old the post was! Your chick is an old lady by now! lol
