Ordering Chicks Next Month: Friendliest?

[Amydelle]

I am ordering chicks next month. We live in Portland, OR.

I am looking for a mixed breed flock of child-friendly chickens. Does anyone have any recommendations within the following breeds:
Cuckoo Marans
Buff Orpington
Salmon Faverolle
Partridge Cochin
Easter Egger
Barred Rock

I am considering getting a total of 5 chicks, all different breeds. But perhaps it's better to just choose two different breeds? My husband has decided that he must have a Marans for the egg color. Will they all get along?

Thank you for your input!

I would say that cochins and EEs are great child friendly birds!
