Nicest banty breed- EVER?

[MonkeyZero]

Hiya

I have a cousin who would LOVE to have 2 hens. However, they have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. They dont want a mean chicken. THey know how to care for them as they had OEGBS, which they sold after they hens tried to hurt them...
So whats the kindest banty breed?

bantam cochins are an excellent choice for a family pet!! mine are the sweetest chickens i have, dont mind being picked up/cuddled (along with my bantam japanese, they are very sweet as well).

probably silkies. they're essentially the lapdog of the chicken world so to speak.

I have both Cochins and Silkies. Some of my Cochins will try to bite. Not the Silkies though. They are all sweet.

I know what you mean about the OEGB's. Most of mine are nice but one pecked me in the face and made me bleed.

She was sitting on eggs at the time so I forgave her.

My seramas are super sweet, and so are silkies.

My d'Uccles are super sweet, talkative and like to be held.

Silkies pretty much let you do anything to them, but mine don't act like they really know whats going on. They are a bit on the doofy side, guess its due to their poofball heads.

Silkies are the calmest and nicest breeds.
