Big Buff (heritage breed, Buff Orpington)

This is Big Buff, my darling sweet Buff Orpington. She died on August 13, 2009 when a loose dog trespassed on our property. She was 3.5 years old and 7 pounds.
I'm gonna miss cuddling with her during our morning meditation and afternoon cuddling.
Here, she's grooming herself. I'm sitting on a blue tarp and with her on my lap.
After the October 2006 earthquake in Hawaii, she was the first chicken to comfort me. She pecked my apron when I went down to check on the hens in the coop. I picked her up, sat her in my lap and rest is cuddling history.
Her favorite treats were cracked corn and sunflower seeds.

My favorite chicken, who was a buff orpington, whom my friend and I called Hash Brown, was my favorite hen, and died when a dog came to my yard as well and sadly killed her while I was on spring break vacation. :(

@mightysalacc Buff Orpingtons in my experience are people-friendly; and hen-friendly, too. Kate definitely needs more hen friends. One hen is a lonely sad hen.
