Are they mean?
My Marans are like house pets they love to be scratched and come running like little piggies. My EE was alittle more aggressive and my Ameraucana that I bought as adults are skitish as anything. I would suggest Marans, Faverolles, and Buff Orphingtons.

My faverolles are very gentle and so are my Marans they love to be petted and I have had many neighbors between the ages of 2-7 handle them. They are my calmest sweetest chickens and are a joy to handle!
My Marans are not good layers but hey have beautiful and amazing eggs and are very friendly girls! I have heard Welsummers are better layers of dark eggs. EE's laying varies greatly and all may not lay the desired color of eggs. Ameraucana lay fairly well.
What I recommend in Faverolles...
