"Stella" (6 1/2 months old when pic was taken) our Barred Rock hen is really freindly. As soon as I walk outside she comes running as fast as she can and sits down next to me waiting for her scratch..

I just got 10 Cuckoo Marans--they are the sweetest things ever--of course they are babies and I'm told will begin laying in April! But I love walking into the coop and watching them all run to me and I can sit in there with them and they are all over me--I'm sure it's the food I bring them--but who cares--I love spending time with them! I've named them all after old movie stars!

I got my shipment of chicks from Cackle hatchery on Feb. 6th. I ordered five each of: buff orpington, speckeled sussex, silver laced wyandottes, and gold laced wyandottes. One of my speckeled sussex chicks was very small and initially, she had balance issues. The buff chicks adopted her as there's. My little speckled (Diva) uses the buffs for cover, diving under them when the other chicks start getting a little rowdy. The buffs herd her into a corner or up against the wall of the brooder, until the others settle down. Then you see this tiny little girl pop up from underneath them.

That is hilarious! We just ordered our new chicks, 2 buff orpingtons, after reading your post I feel confident that we got the right breed. We also ordered 2 barred rock and 2 rhode island reds. After everything I have been reading, I am looking forward to the orpingtons. Hopefully they will be compatible with the others.

I agree that Plymouth's are my pick!!!
