I know you have a favorite! Don’t even fib about it 🤪 my current favorite (who knows it may change haha) is my sweet cross-beak Dorothy! Shes a rainbow layer and 7 weeks old. She literally paces back and forth in front of the gate when she sees me and as soon as I open the gate she’s trying to come out! She loves to be held and today we took a walk around the yard and she was so content the entire time.
So, tell me about your favorite! Bonus if you have a picture 😍

It's a tie between Peck and Peeper.

Peck has always been a lap chicken, so I love her. There's nothing like a snoozing chicken on your lap, head tucked under your elbow.

Peeper was hatched by me and went everywhere with me as a chick, so she's incredibly docile and laid back, even with other chickens.

Love it! So cute! My favorite when she was a little chick is currently not my favorite anymore because she’s not very nice at the moment so I’m curious to see how many times my favorite will change like you said!

I hope Dorothy stays snuggly as she gets older! I will be so sad if she decides she doesn’t like me anymore lol

They change a lot
My light brahma would chirp(more like scream) until i picked her up as a chick. Now its picking her up once a week.
 
My favorite hen, Tate, one year ago and currently 🥰 Buff Orpington sweetheart. I felt guilty for a while for having a favorite, but she’s the only one interested in hanging out with me and letting me pet her so it’s hard not to…
