    I didn't realize that there were that many breeds, and I also thought that they were all aggressive in some way. Thanks.

    This is the one for orpingtons as that is what our main flock is....
    Friendly
    Easily handled
    Calm
    Bears confinement well
    Quiet
    Docile

    Lots of breeds and each breed can have lots of colors.

    My flock is buff orpingtons, Orpington - Back Yard Chickens
    a few production reds, Delawares, Delaware - Back Yard Chickens
    and the recent ones are Ameraucana's
    Ameraucana - Back Yard Chickens

    And no not aggressive normally. It all depends on how you handle and raise them. I make it a rule not to challenge our 2 big roosters. They both handle real well. And have good personalities. Just don't get between Bert and Henry when Bert wants to high karate kick poor Henry. And Henry is the bigger bird.

    one of my favorite websites. Learn a lot about chickens, raising in different parts of the country/world. etc etc. I've been around chickens/poultry in one facet or another a long time, half my life or so, and i still learn something new about poultry there every time I go.

    It's not necessarily a frugal website, not really, but it has some great livestock and animal topics.

    every animal has the potential of aggression. but a lot has to do with how they are raised. True roosters are often (not always) more aggressive...and the more there are in one space...and with a harem of hens to try to fight over...things can get heated. But there are ways to deal with it too. Most of my hens are very docile. They'll follow us around like puppy dogs.
