What's your favorite/friendliest breed

[fluffycrow]

I have seen many cases when they even pick on there keeper

And you think that's proper aseel behaviour?

It's nature of aseel to be aggressive but they show this kind of behavior when kept alone

Our aseel over here humbly disagree. Now, if you're talking about extended periods of time, say a year or 7 months, then that's not a good environment to begin with

This thread isn't about us disagreeing though. It's not about aseel either. So I will stop replying to you on this thread

The thread is titled “What is YOUR favorite/friendliest breed”, so it’s not surprising that the list is all over the place. Mine was Cemani, and I don’t think I’ve heard from anyone that they have experienced a friendly Cemani. MY favorite, though

My friendliest are My Wyandotte hen and my Speckled Sussex and my Salmon Faveriolle hens. oh my gosh how could I leave out my Cochin Bantams they are my favorite snuggle buddies.

My favorite has to be the buff Orpingtons. Every buff Orpington I have had is super friendly. One of them let me swing with her on the swing set. Another loved to sit on my shoulder and hunt for worms with me. They are like dogs! I do have to say that Barred Rocks and Golden Sexlinks are fun too, though they don't like to be held as much. I have a Sexlink that follows me everywhere but I can't touch her. here's a picture of her getting into my business

What a great picture - her personality just shines through! This should be an entry in the current "poultry shaming" contest thread for naughty/willful birds and those with quirky habits!

After 2 yrs of chickens and I'm on my 2nd flock since I've lost 4, now have 11...I would say I'm loving the Barred rock. Iris, she is 18 wks. today, not laying yet but soon since she is squatting for me. I've had 3 Easter eggers (pretty blue eggs one MEAN rooster RIP though), 2 Blue Stars, 2 Buff Orps (one was a sorta sweet Roo -RIP Mr. Nugget) and now have 4 Black SL (sex links), 3 Golden SL and one oddball Barred Rock. Iris the B.R. the most friendliest, fearless, calm but active one, kind of goofy. Another one is our Miss Honey-Bee our Buff Orp, she IS the head of the previous flock of hens and she is bossy but lets my son hug her, just not great for our Texas heat (I saved her from close to heat stroke last year). The best layers so far were the 2 Blue Stars but I have new sex links and the Goldens have started laying. We'll see!

Iris the B.R.
