What is the cuddliest chicken breed?

[Cadence A Waller]

Welcome! My lavender Orpingtons are very affectionate. Sometimes they are a little to affectionate because they occasionally give me a couple pecks if I forget to give them treats!

Brahmas are by far the cuddliest breed I’ve ever had. They’re a very friendly,quiet layed back breed. They make amazing broodies being able to cover many eggs with their big fluffy butts.

Thank you! I’m kinda leaning towards the black astrolops so can someone tell me how those are?

Have a read through these Australorp reviews. https://www.backyardchickens.com/reviews/australorp.10831/reviews

Thank you Brahmachicken240! They look good. But I kinda got worried about catching them because members said they were fast! I’m NOT fast and I don’t want to scare them to try and catch her.

My Black Australorp Sheila was pretty cuddly....at the time, the only hen that allowed me to hold her. Excellent layer too. She was very quirky in an earnest sort of way and followed me around whenever I was outside......

I think you'll find that how you raise your chickens makes a big difference. I had a bantam cochin that was cuddly. If you want feathery fluffy cuddly, brahmas and cochins...both come in bantam size too.
