BYC Debate Thread- What's The Friendliest Chicken Breed?

[A Justice]

My black sex link hens are incredibly friendly. All of them will let me touch them, and most of them will let me pick them up. They follow me around the yard, and when I come outside, they run towards the door looking for treats. I even trained them to come when I rattle an old medicine bottle with BB's. They're also incredibly curious, but run at the first sign of danger. They even get along with my dog, and none of them have ever gone after my 6-year-old.

There's one in particular that actually enjoys being picked up, she will run up and start hopping next to me until I pick her up and / or pet her.

Adorable!! I love people-chickens

My otherwise grumpy bully bantam cochin, Elsa,will wine and cluck when she wants to be held. If you don't pick her up, well, she will take matters into her own.. feet. So she is very people loving.


Overall friendliest still goes to my d'Uccles though

Our Sebright and crosses are super friendly and very chatty. Probably the nicest bantam chickens that I've encountered.

So far for me it seems the wyandottes are most bold and come first, but the Buff Orpington, Blue Australorp, and Speckled Sussex a quick 2nd. The RIR are friendly, but, don't flock me like the others. However, they are only 2 weeks old. Man, they grow fast lol.

The D'uccle bantam are fairly friendly as well, but they are only a week.

I'll have more input as they grow.

Aseel are the friendliest birds (towards humans obviously) on the planet, and no one can change my mind

In my experience, Golden Comets are pet material, and incredible layers (although they are prone to reproductive issues, according to the vet).

Golden Comets are great chickens. They are production hens.. I had a Red sex link, hen a while ago. Not sure if it was a Comet, or other similar looking hen. I didn't get her new... She was a rescue about one year old.
Only downside with them,,,,, ,,, The only pull about 4 to 5 years.
Layed eggs until her end.
All my chickens are my pets that live long lives. My recent to exit was 11 years+
