Friendliest chicken breed thread

[Bigwig]

There is a good article at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html explaining the difference between Easter Eggers, Araucanas, and Ameraucanas. Because EEs are bred using different brown egg laying breeds, there temperament can be quite variable, however mine have usually been docile. Not many of my EEs liked being handled, but they've tolerated it.

Thanks!

RHODEBARS!!! They are into everything, they follow you everywhere, basically they act like puppies.

My friendliest hens have been buff orpingtons and welsummers
