Not sure who saw my post about my culling my whole flock... Well now I am thinking about re-building... Its only been a day but wow it was sad to walk outside and see an empty coop which my Dad and I put work into..
Well, now its time to think of what to get. Speckledhen was nice enough to offer some Barred Rock Eggs and I am so thankful, what a wonderful person...
I want chickens that are Super Friendly but yet still very attractive to look at. This year I have tried the following, and it seems like none have compared to my Delawares I started with at the Beginning of the year..
Black Australorp
Dark Brahma Bantam
Black Sex link
Dominique
EE's
Bantam black cochin
I have also hatched and people say hatched chicks are usually friendly because of imprinting.. Well NONE i have hatched were friendly.. very mean buggers... Except the two I hatched recently, they are winning me over and proving to be as friendly as my past Dels (for a polish bantam and EE I think that is amazing)!
What breed do you like best that has the MOST personality and is friendly. I like to watch my chickens and found some to have more of a curious/friendly personality then others...
I am going to start looking for either hatching Eggs or ordering from a hatchery if they have what I decide I want.
Thanks everyone.
