Silkies in general are a very good starter bird I think. They are very calm and laid back. The only people aggressive one I've ever had was from hatchery stock. My roosters have always been even calmer than the hens.

A 5 month old pair I recently acquired.
It was picture day before the heavy rains come in. There are a few partridge in this lineup. The blue hen came from a blue mother and partridge father, so she has muddy brown flecking on the ends of her feathers. The white cockerel on the end makes me want to tear my hair out. I need to figure out exactly who his mother is so I can remove her from the breeding pens. His father has already been removed. I'll probably have to cross the white one to small batches of hens to find out who is carrying the white gene.
This is that partridge boy on the left in the picture above when he was only 3 months old. You can see why I didn't think he'd turn out looking very good. There is the start of black coming in at this point in time.

Love the picture!
