Non Aggressive Breeds

[Abriana]

I have Buffs, a Delaware, Ameraucanas, an EE, and a Wyandotte. They are all pretty mellow except the Wyandotte can be a stinker sometimes. But usually that's more towards me. She is not what I would call aggressive; just has an attitude and likes to make growling noises. She used to peck me but she has really mellowed after she started laying.

You'll have a much easier time finding EEs and they will cost you less. Plus not knowing what egg color you will end up getting is fun. I'm still waiting for my first EE egg. My first one has never laid an egg even though she is over a year old and the ones I hatched turned out to be boys. Got some in the brooder and more in the incubator so I'll eventually get an EE egg.

I know that Ameraucanas are harder to find and that they are often mistaken for EEs, I think I have an Ameraucana. Can you tell the difference? Here are some pics of two of three of my ameraucanas. the light one is Lindsey, and the dark one with a beard is Lucy. EE's or Ameraucanas?

Lucy, our Americauna hen. She is very sweet and cute, but doesn't much like being held.

Lindsey, an Americauna hen. She is very beautiful, a nice shiny gold with soft brown/black feathers. She is probably the prettiest hen I've got.

I do love the look of the Wyandotte!

Faverolles are very docile. Brahma, Cochin, Australorp.

OMG! They are so pretty!!!

I have Wyandottes and love mine, not aggressive, but mine aren't too friendly. I think thats because I put them in a run instead of letting them grow up in a brooder with me interacting a lot.

OMG! They are so pretty!!!

Thank you!

 

[MassChick]

Did the people at the farm store I bought from them mix them up? The tag on their box/brooder at the store said Ameraucana
