Best Breed of Chicken?

I got two, picked them up this morning! I think they're going to be trouble, both of them are fearless! The Giants are huddled together completely out of their element, and the Fleurs are wreaking havoc on everything in the brooder. I have a trough feeder, and they will perch on the side while eating, then stick their heads farther in and pop themselves into the feeder. They crawl around inside for a few seconds, completely calm, then they pop out in the other side. Now I need to figure out how to bantam proof the feeder.

I will be sure to do that, thanks! I've started hand feeding the entire flock, and it definitely seems to be helping.

I was worried about the RIRs and the White Rocks picking on them because they're so much bigger, but they haven't bothered them. I think they're a little put off by these tiny chicks that act ten feet tall.

I'll try to get some pictures of them when I get home!

Hello everyone! Quick question for y'all. What breed of chicken do you think would be most docile and tame?
If the chickens I get are up to snuff, I would like to eventually take them places, such as nursing homes, and let them be a "chicken ambassador" of sorts. A chicken that would catch people's eye, and start the conversation of chickens and hopefully educate people more about keeping backyard chickens.
