Friendliest Chicken Breed?

[Flat Rock Farm]

I will second Jaye's opinion!! Euskal Oiloa AKA Basque Hens from Spain. LOVE mine friendliest, curious, comical and most adaptable breed I have ever had.

The other point is that you really can't just go by the breed. Some lines have radically different temperaments to others.

Modern Game Bantams hands down !!!! I have never owned a breed as Friendly and Inquisitive as MGBs not a mean bone in them . Great bird for the kids ,in all of us !!

[BobG]

Jersey Giants! I can't speak for other's experience, but I've never had a mean bird, male or female. They're not cuddly lap-chickens, as a matter of fact, if not well handled, they will often scream bloody murder when you pick them up, and a frightened male WILL bite. They do the normal pecking order stuff, but never to the point that a lower bird gets damaged or doesn't get enough to eat. Rooster fights are over with quickly and without bloodshed, almost amicably. Almost zero aggression. I often put fledged chicks and grow-outs in with them, because I know they won't get hurt. As a contrast, my layer pen which has various breeds and mixes, would immediately harrass and kill any chick unfortunate enough to wander in there without parental supervision lol, with only rare exceptions.

Haha I love comparisons , it's kinda like whose wife/husband is better . Interesting reading . Personalities all different human & poultry some suited others better .luck

All my chickens are quite tame and docile. Once pecking order is established
I got 2 Euskal Oiloa pullets from Flat Rock Farm and I must say have never had chickens that have adapted to their new surroundings and fit in so quickly. They are actually a bit nosy. Lol
