- The chickens names are Linda and Mamee and they are my oldest hens. They are six years old. Both were raised as pets so I like to visit their pen. Linda is number one and Mamee is second in order. Mamee tastes the camera a little just to see. She is food oriented and always is first to eat anything. She's minding her own business on my lap just inches away from Linda, who is jealous that Mamee is up there at all. Linda stares her down and tells her to leave. Mamee does leave (off camera) then Linda comes back to be held again. She likes to be massaged behind her head. Most of the time they both vie for my attention in this way and usually both can be held but the camera took 1 hand.. but I never saw this lap stare down before. I could and do hang out with these muddy feathery birds as often as possible.
The sweetest creatures in the world
So True !!
Sadly after 8 1/2 years of a good life, Linda passed away in mid October of 2015. She laid eggs even up to her last summer!! Amazing long life and friendly bird. I raised her and Mamee from a day old puffballs. Mamee was always number two under Linda and had such a great work ethic, digging very industriously like it was her job and very food oriented. Mamee who had this soft oboe voice, had passed away 6 months earlier. I had consistent behaviors with them, such as using the same sounds at feeding time. So I could round them up from wherever they were with this exact "chuk chuk" sound as long as I had a few pieces of corn to toss them -they learned to come to me. There were other sounds too. I suppose you might get lucky with other breeds being friendly but these two, Buff Orpington and Black Australorp seemed bred to be pets.
I had a pet a Rhode Island red rooster when I was a kid .Cared him around like a cat or dog. He would see me and come running and lay down for me to pick him up. I loved that bird. It was such a sad day the day he passed away. I will never forget that unconditional love. That is the only bad thing about chickens ,they don't live long and when you really are attached to them it hard to get over. Thanks for sharing. ATB
😑
😢😢
We have a buff just like that, every night before bed time; big babies they are.
good chicken video
Simply precious. Sad to hear they passed. May you be blessed with more angels to visit in your lap. Thanks for sharing.
I'm sure, she was a such a special girl. Being it's been 10 years, is she "Gone"? Seen some live 12 years.
I love how she let's "her 2nd" know, she's still number 1. 😎🤣
She was like: "look at me.... in my eyes... WHO'S number 1?!... yeah, that right, ME! Don't forget that" and then she just settled back down on your belly. Too darn cute! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was going to get Buff Orpingtons chicks... then decided to get Australorps instead.
My newest chicks are 15 black Australorps.
We haven't had any new chickens here, in over a decade.
Starting back up, with just one or 2 breeds.
Planning on getting black Copper Maran eggs, to hatch my own too. My friend has a pair in her mixed flock.
In her flock, she has 1 hen & the only Rooster that are the black Copper Maran. So, at Ieast they will be pure breed and not hybrids
I plan on only keeping hens, from this year's hatching. Around here, many want this Beautiful breed....So extra roo's will get new homes. 😉
I think about her often. We would just gaze into each other's eyes. I know that sounds funny, but I bonded with that fluffy hen! She helped me catch my breath when I had a tough day. You can hear me sigh when she settles in and her breathing becomes steady.
@@gagig I totally get it... I feel that way about any different animals.
A couple of my young hens/pullets, and 1 of the Roo's "Seamore Butt" , are in the same category. We stare at each other... then they takes naps, on my lap.. while I pet them.
It's very comforting to me. 🤗
how are your chickens so tame? how old are they?
I remember burying our hen Jenovefa. She was 12 yrs old. She emerged from our own eggs in 2004
Teddy Malfoy i remember mine got her as teenager 2001 and she passed 2012. I still got her pic in my old old cp w/o battery
i wish i was a vegetarian,
Soon imma stop eating meat
Why?? I will never STOP HAHAHAHA
Please remember to check out my channel lol....
Thats is great !, welcome to the vegan world 🌱
My Orpington Loves to cuddle with me, she is like therapy for me. Tickle under her wings and her comb massage, Angels xx
+becky lingwood One time I decided to stretch out in the sun and my Orpington casually leaned up against me and kicked back, stretched out her legs and dozed there with me. Totally like therapy. In a way you can't move when something that cute is going on like being trapped in a good way.
Hahaha I'd love to have seen that : ) Being trapped in a good way, yes! : )x
my little bro had an Orpington and she’d always sit in his shoulder and would always cuddle with him. She was sick and has to be put down, but she was the sweetest thing.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I cherish the memories.
So cute! Was she starting to doze off? 😍😍😍
Thank you for posting this. My buff and australorp are coming in the mail tomorrow. I see how calm and sweet your girls are. I hope mine will be the same.
+Tiki DH I hope you enjoy your sweet birds.
gagig I just got 4 black ausralops and 3 buff orpingtons. the orpingtons follow me and are sweet. the dominant hen is a black astralorp and she always tries to fly and attack me and they are just 3 months old
Love to watch their small chicken-y signs of happiness & contentment: small chicken-y purrs, the slowly closing lower eyelids, the beak smacking, the fluffy raised patch of feathers near their combs and the way they fluff their feathers out. Thanks again for taking the time to post videos of Linda your Buff Orpington and Mamee your Black Australorp. I sure miss my flock...
i got a few barred rocks, 2 EE,2redsexlinks 2 rhode island reds, and a buff roo..the buff is the sweetest chicken I've ever had he's such a damn good rooster and treats the ladies so well constontly bringing them treats, he won't fuck them unless they are willing and. do that squat thing..he won't eat or feed himself until the girls get their fill... he literally flys *up- on my shoulder first thing in the morning...I'm more and more impressed everyday just watching the things he does for the ladies there's no doubt he would fight to the death for them
Such a sweet video! Thanks
That's what I want out of life. Simple, happy moments with animals
Very sorry for ur losses over these two birds recently my barred rock hen got killed by a hawk she was the sweetest bird to me at least and I was very sad but now we found out my favorite chicken is a rooster!He always comes up to me for food and even let me pint his nails.
Adorable. What else can a person say?
Just AWESOME! Alas your comment posted 2 weeks ago telling of their passing, such beautiful chickens ya had here, the Linda, Buff Orpington and Mamee, Black Australorp! Sometimes in the past i got confused with two breeds, Black Australorp and Black copper marans, the hens are both black but the copper marans has some golden or reddish feathers coming down its neck, right? Uprated, thanks for sharin', at least you have their video images for posterity! :)
3:50 - 5:09 that hen looks like she is on some good ecstacy tabs. Anyways, this video is so relaxing almost therapeutic!!!!
She talks just like my Buff orfington

Oh my god she is like "So what's up, huh?? You gotta problem with what I'm doing??"
Dolcissima 🐣🐤🐥
Sweeties!
ADORABLE!!! Which one would you say is the quietest? They are beautiful!!!
+Debra Gentile The Black Australorp was the quieter of the two.
Beautiful chickens
They are dead sadly
***** The buff isn't a rooster, it would be very obvious at this age :) Plus the buff's name is Linda.
Thanks for the reply. They sure are cute!
CRD
tip: easter eggers love belly rubs
they're beautiful!
Lucky!!!
😍😍😍
Awww the way she coos!
Twelve thumbs up
Hens are the best pets ❤
So sweet
Is the buff a rooster? I've heard Orpingtons are a very sweet breed.
They were all hens in my coop
Oh, ok. And I’m really sorry to hear they passed away. I can tell they were very loved and content. May the good memories be with you always.
As usually vocal Sparrows can be heard in the background.nice
Bellissimo❤️❤️❤️
My two favorite chickens!
What kind of hen is that 3:45? The stripe one
Thats a barred rock i think
