You might want to just get bantam breeds. They are smaller and require less space. The eggs will obviously be smaller too. Or golden comets. They are a sex link who are very friendly and lay an egg almost every day. The don't get nearly as big as orpingtons.
edited to add lots and lots of the standard breeds come in bantam sizes too.
