That is such a great question. I remember being on my grandpas farm when I was very young, getting chased by turkeys all the way from the chicken coop to the front door of his house! I know; turkeys are not chickens. Still, when we started talking about having a backyard farm and getting chickens, being chased by giant farm birds immediately flashed through my mind.
We all know how smart and curious our chicken friends are. But what are the friendliest breeds?
Genetics, breed purpose and traits, even feather colors play important roles when we talk about friendly disposition of our feathered friends.
If you, like me, are looking for some true yard besties; I have a list of some of the friendliest breeds to share with you!
Silkies-great with kids
Speckled Sussex-love attention
Buff Orpington-laid back
Cochin-docile
Australorp-quiet
Of course, there are other friendly breeds you can add to your flock. Let them hear your voice, and cuddle often!
