Are any of these breeds incompatible in a mixed flock?

My Speckled Sussex is a sweetheart and has been a great layer. She's not a troublemaker, and she absolutely cannot fly. She always comes when called. Her name is Speckles.

The Barred Plymouth Rocks aren’t a breed I would recommend for a first time chicken owner, let alone in a mixed flock. Same applies to Rhode Island Reds.
Get Domiques instead of the Barred Plymouth Rocks. And you’re missing a white egg laying breed, so get 2 White Leghorns.

Silver Grey Dorkings also lay bright white eggs and are really friendly, docile and gentle.

Another SS supporter. The one here isn't a pushover but she does not cause any trouble either.
Saw you are looking for birds that aren't great flyers, may I reccomend considering Faverolles they fly like a rock.

I'll 2nd favorelles. I have 2 Xs. They are sweet, gentle, non aggressive & they mix really well with other breeds. They are also supposed to be very good with kids but I haven't tried that yet.

They're great with kids, the only thing is don't let kids have food around them. I have five and at least four of them will just go take a kid's food and eat it in front of them.

I don't mind having all brown eggs, they're pretty to me! And we have an Americauna who will hopefully lay colored eggs whens she's grown. As a chick, this Americauna is also the most mild, and least skittish.
I'm guessing they're all pullets? (I didn't follow the whole thread), and I think all your breeds should be fine (22 of mine are babies, but I did quite a bit of research to find what would be a good fit). I ask about pullets, because we have a Buff Orp rooster and hen, and they are both curious and come up and see what your doing, but the rooster will also peck and jump at you, not exactly in a friendly way. I mention it because sometimes it's not the breed, you never know what personality traits/gender instincts are going to pop up in each bird, so there's no guarantees!

Beautiful!

Thanks everyone, I'm excited to look into the favorelles and the silver gray Dorkings. They weren't really on my radar before!

Mine comes when called, too. Speckles is super cute.

Also, what about a cuckoo marans? I actually preferred their personalities to my barred rock and they look sort of similar? They’re not quite as reliable a layer as the BR, but their eggs are beautiful. They won’t be as dark as the marans eggs you see online.

I’m nothing but a human jungle gym to them!

My Wyandottes are very friendly and chatty, but they also rule the roost. The top hen, a GLW, can be moody and bully the younger pullets. But, so far, no bloodshed.

What a beauty!
