Best chicken breed?

[horsegirl1312]

I live close to the city, so i want relatively quiet chickens and that are usually sweet and good for kids (non aggressive). Nothing too fancy. Can anyone help?

Brahmas are quiet and sweet. Not horrible egg layers either. I would recommend them for any one with kids. They are lazy so that makes it easy to catch them and they don't through huge fits once you finally do get them. Only problem I could see with them for you is that they are a very large bird. Maybe just go with the bantams.

My buff orphingtons & golden lexlinks are the sweetest and most social from all the chickens we have owned.

I would recommend Buff orpingtons, barred rocks, or ameraucanas.

Barred rocks and silkies probably. Both are very friendly, and quiet! Barred Rocks are great egg layers silkies not so much. Both of mine are so sweet!

Wyandottes are very sweet, and they're pretty, too! They're easy to tame and are pretty calm and kid-safe.
