I had a leghorn . Best chicken I ever had. A raccoon broke into my coop and it sacrificed itself to save the flock. It went at the raccoon to block the other hens (caught on camera ) . The raccoon ended up killing it . It was one of the friendliest hens I’ve ever had too.

Thought I'd share a cute story about my Rhode Island Red roo named Cluckles. This was back around 2014-2016, but it feels just like yesterday and I hold a lot of fond memories of him. Cluckles was a beefy tank of a roo, but very gentle at heart. It was my first time raising a flock, but he was the absolute sweetest roo I could have ever asked for. He would accompany me when I sat and read books, he'd come when I called him, and he never crowed. (Goodness I miss him a lot) What made Cluckles quirky though was that sometimes I'd find him in the brooder box caring for the eggs, I'd never seen a roo be so much more caring about the eggs than our hens! The other quirk was that he was a bit of a messy pooper, so I'd have to bathe him once a week. Cluckles would know it was bath time, we'd wash him and he'd just sit in the warm water till we were done. We'd pick him up and bring him inside and use a hair dryer, but even though it was quite loud he'd just stand there till we finished and then he'd walk out the door to wander about. My sister would paint his nails bright pink, he's walk around the house in a diaper and bowtie, it was quite a site to see! He was even leash trained and we'd take walks to a near by park.

Hope this brings a bit of a smile!
- Cluckles, his hen Betty(RIR also), and another hen named Peep (a leghorn) passed away due to a predator attack during the summer of '16 and were buried under a lemon tree.

I loved my black Australorp. She outlived all my other chickens and became my best friend. She was the sweetest thing ever and she lived for 7 years.

My favorite hen was a Rhode island Red, she was so curious, and smart and followed me all over the place. I really miss her.

Aw, I used to have a barred rock called Oreo and she was the friendliest in my flock. She wasn’t scared to put up a fight though with other animals that she wasn’t used to but last year she was killed trying to fight off a mink to protect her flock. I was devastated she used to eat out of my hands and she was very smart, friendly and brave, rest in peace Oreo 🤍🖤

My barred rock hen is the best and the calmest in the flock very gentle

[nosolar]

What? My barred rocks are the nicest chickens I have!!🤷‍♀️

I loved my Buff Orpington! They would sit in my shoulder, my arm, they would talk to me. The sweetest chicken ever!

[karenranahan]

I raised Leghornes and I agree however, a few of my hens became “house trained” and were able to come inside and perch and watched TV with us LOL. I guess I was lucky.

I had a Barred Rock Rooster meanest thing on two legs, savage, he snuck up on me one day and knocked me down from behind, We called him Veloci Rooster

[beginningofnowhere]

My family has been raising australorps for over 30 years and I've been showing poultry for over a decade. I whole heartedly agree with everything you've said about all of those breeds. I always bring an australorp as an ambassador to the fairs, one of my hen has had thousands of people pet her. I appreciate this video!

I had a road island red for 8 years and she just died from natural causes

[motogem]

This should be called "The three worst breeds based off of my pettiness"! The only fact was the rose island red roosters can be mean.

[chadjohnson]

Honestly this was the silliest video i have ever seen in my life

[alyssaortega]

I had a Rhode Island Red rooster who was pure evil we named him Lucifer.

My barred rock is my top bird. She is so sweet and my baby. Juat thought id give a little good note on them. I hand raised her though so she got a lot of one on one time.

I haven’t had my Rhode Island Reds for very long but I absolutely love their personalities! They love to be carried around. They’re still babies so I’m hoping that they don’t become egg bound and die...

I bought a Buff Orpington last Spring. I regret it every day. It forced me to buy another 4 this season because it was so "cute." Now I have 11 chickens, 6 from other breeds. I really just don't have the time but I make it work.

I took care of a friend's flock of chickens a few times - a mixed flock of Barred Rock, Coronation Sussex, Ameraucana, Olive Eggers and one Buff Orpington...the Buff Orpington was the only one that had any real personality. She would come up to me, look me in the eyes and step up onto my feet and let me pick her up. She was so, so sweet... I definitely want a few in my flock once I have one.🥰🐔
