Who Has A soulmate pair of chickens?

[TimberLine Homestead]

I am posing this because I would like to know what hen and if you have one ROOSTER are your favorite and why?
( if you don't have a rooster just put two of your favorite most adorable hens.)


I will go first I love my EE rooster and Orpington hen. Their names are Roadrunner and Buttercup!
At first glance it will look like Roadrunner is a mean rooster with attitude. He does have attitude but is the sweetest thing.
His favorite snack is Meal worms and cat food.
Now time for buttercup she looks like a queen and she definitely is one. She looks sweet but has an attitude. But she will come and sit on your foot waiting for attention and if you don't give it to her she will chase you.
Roadrunner and Buttercup are soul mates. They always sleep, eat, and drink together. Buttercup is the dominant one of the pair.
I hope to breed them soon and have little EE and Orpingtons running around.
Now that I have told you about mine let me hear about yours.

I don't have a rooster, but my dominant EE thinks she's a rooster and is always hanging out with my other EE and (occasionally) mates her.

Your EE is cranky that no one believes he is a rooster. So he must show DOMINANCE!

I have a pair of SLW named romeo and juliet which I named them perfectly. They eat together, roost together, run around the yard together and they love each other. They had their first chick together last month but it got killed by a snake, and they both acted super sad for the next few weeks.

I do have roosters.. But my cutest pair has got to be Pippin (1+yo hen) and Blue (3-4mo pullet). Pippin was my first chicken. I got her in september 2020. Blue was hatched in March, she was a helped hatch and developed quite a few problems growing up, she's perfectly fine now!
They met when Blue was 7wks old and being integrated with her brothers. Pippin went broody shortly after and hatched 3 polish chicks. Blue and Pippin became quite close over the past few weeks.

Being a mamma is hard...
But, lucky for Pippin, Blue, has insisted on helping Pippin raise her chicks. This includes: calling them to eat, looking after them while Pippin rests, following Pippin around like a bodyguard, sleeping woth Pippin in the nest-box and sitting on a chick or 2 at night (since they are too big to ALL fit under Pippin). Blue even goes inside the coop with Pippin early so the chicks don't get cold!

I had two sister hens that were pretty much attached at the hip from hatch. They did EVERYTHING together, ate, slept, laid eggs in the same box at the same time, free ranged together, talked together all day long, never apart. One sister passed away a couple years later at 3yrs old, the other mourned for months, stopped eating, laying, talking, refused to get off the roost bar. She finally pulled out of it 3 months later. She never developed another friendship with another bird again, she lived to be 6 yrs old and spent her days alone ignoring the rest of the flock.

Thats the saddest thing I have ever read.

For a few months, Kiwi, my young rooster, has been dancing and chasing my 1yr old hen, Pippin.
I felt bad since he was so desperate. But one day, Kiwi and Pippin started mating. They spend all their time together and he runs to her if she panics (she panics at nothing, she's just a huge drama queen )
