So who is the most friendly breed?

[PirateGirl]

You can only have a friendly chicken if you make it friendly.

Yes and no. All my chickens were raised and treated the same and some certainly seem friendly compared to others which are flighty.

Yes I had an attack silkie rooster yet I still respect him but he died last week ( natuaral causes)

salmon faverolles are the sweetest IMO

Tell that to my rotten little 6 month old cockerel who jumped at me yesterday because he didn't like my power driver chattering. We had ourselves a little tango with flared hackle feathers and all.

I have 68 buff Orpington. Yes ALL Orpingtons! So I can’t really say since I only have one breed but my buff Orpington are very gentle and nice. Both of my roosters are little angels as well

I just got rid of the sweetest faverolles roo like a month ago, you could walk right over and pick him up, same with the hen i just got rid of, you could walk and and call her name and she would run to you and almost stand on her tiptoes with anticipation of pets while her little butt wiggled. I dont give my animals treats so i know it wasnt about that

I have 2 buffs exactly the same age, raised exactly the same way. One stands at my feet waiting to be picked up and fusses when is put down. The other one...not so much.

I love all my hens. My Speckled Sussex is always there to greet me and first to run to me. I also have a Barred Rock ( a little flighty) but let’s me hold her and Golden Buffs. My Golden’s are sweet but will run sometimes when I come if want to pick up. If I let them approach me they are fine.

I rarely have friendly chickens but when I do its usually a mixed breed with a black cooper maran father. and its always cockerels. They follow me around when I work out in the nursery.
