I Am Disappointed in MY BUFF O!

Yeah... My buff orpington roo s mean and my rir pullet is the friendliest little thing in the world. She even lets me hold and pet her!

 

No BO problems>

I have the skittish, not nice Barred Plymouth Rock.

She is much more unfriendly than my Chantecler who at least tollerates touch.

I guess there is always one screwball in the breed and it sounds like you and I have them.

 

I don't know about buffs, but my RIR roo lets me pick him up and carry him around. My neighbors laugh at him.

 

My BO's won't let me hold them and they started out with very small tan eggs. The eggs have started to get larger and darker. they were laying in their next box just fine. Now they either are not laying or laying somewhere else and I can't find then.

Our BO is very docile but doesn't line up to be held, that's for sure.

 

I have 9 BO Hens and they all love to be held. They follow me everywhere when i go outside.

 

Our buffs are only about 3 weeks old and very docile, but they definitely don't like to be held for long. My EE Luna (whom I believe to be a roo) on the other hand... lap chicken.

 

My roo cochin is by FAR the friendliest one out of my clan...then my EE who jumps on my back every single time I bend over to pet the others. lol My barred rock used to be the friendliest but now she just isn't. She isn't mean but she just would rather not come by me much anymore My little buff orp likes to peck me yet. She's getting better tho...although she isn't really a PURE buff orp since she is sporting those yellow legs...prob why she isn't as friendly as the others I read about?
