does anyone know what you get when you mix a buff Orpingtons with black tail Japanese?

I think you would get a Black Tailed Buff Orpinese

I love chicken math!

I started with 6 black australorp hens a few years ago. The numbers have since grown and shrunk, grown some more, shrunk a bit, then blew up.

LOL!

I've just started a new flock, we had a devastating fire last year that claimed the lives of all my beautiful chickens. My new babies are 5 weeks old and I'm loving them so much! I have:

5 Black Copper Marans
2 Cuckoo Marans
3 Welsummer
6 Black Jersey Giant
6 Red Sex Link
2 Gold Sex Link
5 Easter Egger
5 Speckled Sussex
2 Gold Laced Wyandotte

Next year I hope to add some Crested Cream Legbar, Lavender Orpington, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, and a couple of Bantams.


I socialize with my chicks every day, so they aren't exactly unfriendly, but a lot of them are still spooked easily. My very most friendly chick is one of my Speckled Sussex named Suzie Q (pictured below). She follows me around and loves to climb in my lap. The other Speckled Sussex are really friendly also, and the Red and Gold Sex Links are the next friendliest breed I have. In our old flock they were ALL friendly. They were primarily Buff Orpingtons, with a few Easter Eggers, Gold Sex Links, and Rhode Island Reds. The only flighty hen we had was an Old English Game Hen who was grumpy as can be, and that's exactly what I named her, Grumpy.

What are some of the friendliest breeds of chickens?

I love my Dominiques! Of the four, two in particular are very friendly. Baldilocks was one of the first to be friendly;whenever I'm in the coop now, she wants to hop up on my shoulder and then up top on my head! I'm trying to discourage the hop-on-head thing now, because I don't think I want a full grown chicken on my head in a few months, LOLOLOLOL

The other one, Darling, is a more recent friendly. Her name was "Trouble," but this week she's decided that she likes being held and cuddled, hence the renaming. She comes to me to be picked up and cradled in my hands so she can have a nice little chickie-snooze.

My New Hampshire Reds, Sweetie and Honey, are also pretty friendly.
