Best chicken for little kids?

[LlamaGirl4]

im asking this question for a local park. This park has a old shed that they are converting into a chicken coop and they will be getting 8 pullets. Someone will raise them at their house until they are old enough to be brought to the park.
Since the park obviously is swarmed with children the chickens will have to be very gentle and kind and I’ve said that buff Orpingtons are good birds but I want to know your opinion.
What is the best breed for kids?

Buff Orpington can be mean I like my leghorns they lay nice eggs and they like to play the pecking game

I have 68 chickens. All BO. Of course you get the occasional peck but they are really sweet to me and will never chase someone for no reason

Buff Orpingtons I think should be the best, Leghorns too
BOs are SUPER friendly!! But! The thing is with Buff orps is that they get broody often and can be mean when broody, and I'm sure you don't want the little kids AND chickens getting hurt when they're broody. However the orps are the least sensitive type of chicken I know, which might be helpful for some little children...

I think brahmas would be best.
They’re gentle giants. They’re great pet chickens for their quiet and tame nature, they’re very cold hardy and they’re good winter egg layers.
They’re also great broodies
Good with children. Mine have never pecked anyone.

I breed them. Here’s some pics of mine

Orpingtons are giants. Mine are as big as my BCM rooster and they may even out weigh him. So I'd factor in whether you want large birds who can handle handling or small birds like Silkies who are more kid size and less intimidating. I mean you've got to plan for kids of various ages and different degrees of aggression (that's kid aggression) right?

Would you consider two runs? And then shepherd kids to the appropriate one for large sturdy birds or smaller gentle ones.
