Hi, I have 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Buff Orpingtons, and 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes. Unfortunately, the Barred Rocks are not friendly, in fact they peck my legs constantly! Some of the girls have started laying eggs. It has been a fun experience so far and my 8 year old loves them too. Here is a picture of Sunny, my daughter's chicken
I used to have a Red Sex Link that would peck at my legs. I started picking her up every time she did it and not only did she stop pecking, she became my biggest lap chicken! Sometimes chickens remind me of kids...you have to show them who's the boss so they'll respect you. Best of luck!
