I only have two ladies who are the same breed (Ameraucana), but they do tend to hang out together. Not as close as some of the other pairs in my yard, however. My blonde turken and the Sicilian buttercup are besties, the speckled Sussex and the barred rock paired up, and the black turken and the black star are buddies. Most of the pairing seemed pretty natural, since the Sussex and barred rock came to me together, and the black turken and black star I got as chicks at the same time. The rest of them I raised from chicks together, and they just paired up.
I've got 6 new babies now, and none of them are the same breed - in fact most of them are wildly different from each other. They're entering teenager ages right now, I can't wait to see how they sort out.
