My orpington was my favorite bird for the first 2 months. She suffered an injury at week 3 (was trapped under a water feeder that tipped over and almost died) and I was so attached to her for surviving. She was very handle friendly until she was moved outside to her permanent coop. Now she is always my last one that I catch and very sassy. All my other chickens actually are very submissive and easy to pet (except for my orpington).
