Hello, i'm new to chickens but i've tried to do my research. We want egg layers but we also want them very friendly. I was planning on picking some chicks up tomorrow but I can't decide on which breed it's between Buff Orphington(?) or a barred rock any input would be greatly appreciated!I've got two little ones and i'm wanting a tamer cuddly chicken if there is such a thing.Also i've heard they're dusty does anyone know of any tricks for that. Thank You!

Hello fellow Okie and

There is a very active okie thread you should check it out. I am from Henryetta and have EE's. We just got our first ever chickens in Sept so we are new too. Got out first green egg a couple of weeks ago!!!

Get a few EEs. Anything else you like will probably lay eggs and satisfy the addiction for a while, then you'll want more and different kinds of birds. I don't think there is a cure, short of death either. Yes, chickens are kinda dusty. I don't recommend keeping them in the house.

Get both! There are also other breeds that fit the bill.....

Thanks, my friends and family threatened to call PETA on me over the McNuggets pic

And as buckguy said it is OKIES IN THE BYC and it is in the where are you where am I (or something like that) section.

Hi, I am new to the forum as well but we have had chickens for almost a year now. We have 13 so far and our nicest ones are the cochins.

HAVE FUN!
