My Buffs always greet me at the door in the morning...but are eager to run through it to the grass beyond my boots. All my biddies (Australorps, Cochin, Polish, Buff Orps, Wyandotte, EE and Welsummers) were raised in a half of a refrigerator box in my laundry room and are accoustomed to being "under foot", however, I LOVE my EEs, Amelia and Speckles best!! They love to remain underfoot in the yard, seek me out for companionship and will hop on my deck and peck the door (even in winter) to get me outside. They perch on our shoulders in the coop and love to sit on the dutch door to see what I am up to. They forage in the yard, are not aggressive to my other birds and are easy to lift off the nest to gather eggs, without fearing a peck to the hand/wrist. They are personable to a fault (and as a bonus, they're reliable layers in beautiful shades of robin's egg blue).
My other birds are beautiful as well, but they can't claim that.
