Are you looking into Standards, or Bantams? If you would like Standards, I suggest Orpingtons. There are Violet, Buff, etc. They are fantastic layers, and very friendly. For Bantams, I suggest Cochins. They are super friendly, and joyous. They are okay egg layers, and will lay brown eggs. Both of these breeds will be great pets. I agree Silkies are great too, and are great mothers. They are aswell okay egg layers. Though bantam eggs are about 1/2 the size of a standard egg. Hope it helps!
