Help choosing Breeds

We have over 16 different breeds, and what we have found out is that if you give them a lot of attention when they're chicks, they will be friendlier. One of our friendliest is a little Sicilian Buttercup who will jump in our laps and start a conversation. They aren't supposed to be very friendly IMG_20190704_094445.jpg , but ours certainly is! The second and third tribes didn't get as much attention as our first tribe, and it shows. Here's a picture of Doris, our SB, just getting attention from Dad. Oh, SB aren't supposed to be good layers, and Doris hasn't started laying yet.
 
Perfectly sound advice! I guess we got lucky, just getting chickens from local keepers. But now, having found BYC, we can actually research and learn before adding new breeds to our flock! :D
