I think the Speckled Sussex are the prettiest birds I have. They have a nice round body & I love their coloration, especially in the sunlight. They are the pushiest for snacks, but not aggressive. All of my birds seem to be pretty good foragers & are fine with my young kids. They run up to check for snacks whenever we go outside & like to be hand fed, but run away of anyone tries to pet them too much or pick them up. No aggression at all. My chickens also seem to be fairly quiet, but that may be because none of them are laying eggs yet. We also have a large lot which cuts down on noise. I can hear the neighbors rooster, but none of their hens.

I would like to try several of the other birds on your list, in particular the Salmon Faverolles. I love birds with beards. My Brabanters are probably my favorites; they are so cute with their beards & have very curious personalities. My Easter Eggers also have beards, but are more stand-offish.

Out of the ones listed, Faverolles or Buckeyes. Both are rare, and very good looking
