We have small children and all my chickens will come and feed from our hands. They come running to me in the mornings hoping I have a treat. So I agree with the above post that raising your own and bonding with them at a young age is key to any breed. That being said for brown eggs like the original question asked our black sex links are the sweetest. And the iridescent black to green feathers are really pretty. Our New Hampshire red is a bit shyer but still lets us hand feed her.
