Friendly chickens

[Chickem707]

Anyone have any extremely friendly chickens? What are their stories? My Jersey Giant is the weirdest. Every time i go outside, she runs to me immediately (she probably wants treats, but if you’ve ever seen a jersey giant run you now how funny it is) and won’t leave my side. I’ve had her from an egg, and unfortunately for the first 3 days of her life she only had humans for company, so i think that made her very friendly. I also have a little disabled silkie cross, and every time i go near her run she runs up to the edge to get to me. If i put my hands down she’ll jump on them as well to be picked up. Another thing I thought was cute, is that if i just spend some time sitting with her, she’ll start purring.

My friendliest chickens are my Easter Eggers. They love to snuggle up to me and my son. They think we are a roosting bar!!!
Here is my son getting smothered by them.

Not a chicken but three guineas who run to me whenever they see me. They won’t let me hold them but they follow like puppies.

I understand turkeys can be very affectionate also.

My leghorn Daisy would run whenever I came out and many times just jump up and say hi. I spilled a lot of coffee after being startled as she jumped in my lap!

I've got 6 pullets (all about 11 months) and 3 are lap birds.

Rosie, golden comet, is always first to snuggle but doesn't stay long:

Coco, barred rock, settles right down to nap and coo. She will stay as long as I let her:

Honey, BO, is the head hen and once she gets on my lap doesn't move until she is good and ready. She leans right up against me, like a dog looking for pats, and talks my ear off:

The other 3 girls (barred rock, golden comet, cinnamon queen) are all very friendly and curious. They will let me handle them and will consent to cuddles if I make them !

I'm looking to add to my flock and want more lap birds. I understand EEs are great -- but it seems to be so individual. More about the bird than the breed. Looking for any suggestions!
