Cochin and Buff Orpington quesions

[showjumper_girl2002]

Good afternoon all! So I'm fairly new to chickens and looking to get two more to add to my small backyard flock (2 cream legbar hens). I'm looking for a breed(s) that will be very friendly and make not just for a good backyard chicken but a good pet. From the research I've done I've come across Cochins and Buff Orpingtons as being very friendly breeds. I love my cream legbars, but they are a bit standoffish which is one of the reasons I'm looking for friendlier breeds to add to my small flock. Can anyone tell me a bit about your experience with these 2 breeds?

Both are more friendly birds. I don't handle mine much as chicks but they still come up to me to see what I have.

My grandparents have Cochin Bantams, and Regulaur Bantams, and they are quite friendly! There is only 1 hen that isnt friendly, becuase she’s never been handled.

Thank you! Yes, from everything I've read they are 2 of the friendlier breeds. Was just curious of people's personal experience. Anyone else have anything to add from their experience? Really appreciate the feed back.
