People are mentioning breeds I haven't even though of. Definitely cool.Yep. My some day list has grown a lot today
Need a few of each kind, eh?Hmm..? Oh no I have way too many birds for sure. But, I said I don't have enough 'Variety' though..
I love watching my bantam cochins run too. They put their heads down and run in those slipper feet in a shuffling hoppy way.
Then there's Rowena, here. Wait for it...Lap chickens,, they leave behind surprises.
Actually, I've found I get much more of those surprises when my lap birds have it on their feet. My Orpington is notorious for not waiting for permission to get in my lap and, well, sometimes she tracks a little bit of a surprise all over. Does she look ashamed?
Yes! The Mottleds do this a lot! They also get super excited and go flying like a bunch of fat, fluffy hummingbirds out of the chicken yard for free-range time.
Naw, my angels would never do such a thing.

I have personally never had a Dominique, but the Wyandotte and Orpingtons are on my favorite list.I have just 3 breeds as I'm new to the chicken world. But, in order of favor they are:
1-Buff Orpington - she is friendly, calm & quiet; is first up on my lap when I sit down.
2-Dominique-best egg layer so far and relentless forager; but the noisiest most forward.
3-Blue laced red Wyandotte-I have 2 girls and their personalities are very different. One is outgoing and friendly and the other is more skittish and the last at everything, including egg laying. From my on-line research I discovered their coloring is more properly "splash" designation. Very beautiful birds and so sweet! I now completely understand "chicken math"! I would love to have Speckled Sussex, Marans and Barnevelders someday and probably allot more I have yet to discover.
There's always another breed or mix to try. It keeps it all interesting.
You like a fluffy flock.
So do I.
