Well, we have chickens, Buff Orpingtons and Jersey Giants. The rooster is 10-1/2 pounds now.
The Buffs come up to you when you are outside and talk to you nonstop, peck at your shoestrings, and if you sit down in the orchard, they will hop up on your lap and settle down for a snooze.
You can pick them up and they are happy to accompany you down the long driveway to check the mail.
We have a shop-chicken, a golden comet, who follows me or my husband, weaker, around the machine shop while we work, sitting down near you, if you are doing chucking work and staying at one machine for a while. She will actually come and cluck a certain way if she wants water, or a different way when she wants to go outside and be with other chickens for awhile.
They're fun, and really pretty,
Mrs. Weaker.
