I have a 5 year old so I am looking to find a few chicken types that are friendly and lay eggs! I don't know much about chickens yet. I didn't buy 6 chicks through mail....because I only want 2-3. Not sure where I can get them around here or even if they are legal not have,

Welcome to BYC, generally Silkies are very gentle and a favorite with kids. But not all birds will have the same disposition. A lot depends on their socialization with humans when they are young chicks.

Some chickens that I found to be very sweet is the Plymouth Rock, and they lay a good amount of eggs, too. Buff Orpingtons are pretty gentle, too, and lay about 150-200 eggs a year. Other good hens include Silkies, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Speckled Sussex, Australorps, Welsummer, Amaraucana, Golden Comet, Cochins, Brahmas, Polish, and Faverolles. I hope you find some good breeds that work for you!
