Hello all,
Wanting to get a couple more chickens. I love the look of my easter eggers, but my isa browns seem to be more friendly. Does any one else think this to be true? What do you think is the friendliest breed of all the chickens?
 
I have Barred rocks, EE, WGJ, Delaware, Red Stars and Hamburgs. I have some Delawares that are friendly and some that are not. 1 of my EE is friendly. 2 of my Barred rocks are friendly and the other 2 are ok. the Hamburgs are skittish and ,my one white leghorn is skittish as well. I have heard that Orpingtons are very friendly and calm birds. I plan on gettin some in June when they come to my local livestock supply. I think there are probably friendly birds in each breed, but we aren't able to tell which is nice and friendly and which ones are not. But if anyone has any ideas to tell if they are friendly when they are day olds that would also be great.
 
I love my Orpingtons and my little Faverolle! They hang out around your feet and aren't flighty like a lot of other breeds. I've raised Welsummers, Rocks, Leghorns, RIR's, Ameraucana's, Wyandottes, Marans, d'Uccles, Jersey Giants, and Sex-links. Although I've always adored everyone of my chickens (they each come with their own personality

), I really love my Orpingtons and Faverolle. In general, they are so laid back.

Now that being said, each chicken has their own personality and each one is going to be different. It just really depends on the bird itself.

My light brahmas are way friendlier than my EEs. They follow me around the yard, hop up on the swing to sit next to me, and don't run away when I try to pick them up. Love them.
