Help me choose chick breed!

[Lemon-Drop]

I agree with @Pghelp, and if your looking for friendly girls ours isn’t the most friendly (although right now she’s sick and in the house so she’s really sweet, mostly because she’s lethargic)

We are getting 2 new baby chicks tomorrow (we already have 2, the 2new ones are replacements for 1 that passed away).
We are getting 1 salmon favorelle for sure, other than that what breed would you guys suggest?

we are looking for a good layer, friendly, and most importantly QUIET!!!!!

The list-
Cuckoo Marans
Rhode Island Reds
Black Copper Maran
Olive Eggers
Salmon Faverolle
Easter Eggers
Standard Blue Cochin

Maran’s aren’t too of our list as my mom thinks that they’re eggs taste funny.

I can tell you firsthand that no egg color changes the taste

But for breeds, if you don't have an Orpington, GET ONE! They are amazing! So kind and sweet, super fluffy and soft, and great mothers. Off the list though (and excluding the faverolles), I would say either one of the Marans, or the cochin. Olive Eggers are also great for the color.

Thank you everyone! We will be getting a Salmon Favorelle and an Olive Egger! If they are out of either we will be getting a Blue Cochin!

I am shocked at the amount of people who said EEs are quiet. Mine screams all day to the point that we named her Karen. Shes always complaining. OP, I know it's not on your list but I seriously love my production blues. They're super friendly, super quiet, lay HUGE eggs daily and are absolutely gorgeous.

I would go with black copper maran. They're really friendly and good layers, but sometimes they are loud.
