Recommend me your favorite chicks!

[piyo piyo]

I'm getting chickens soon, and would like some friendly good laying breeds to raise. I'm currently looking at EEs, SLW, Faverolles and Welsummers! I would prefer non-broody breeds (So no Orps!)
Any tips will also be appreciated!

There are many generally friendly breeds; I would recommend the Jersey Giant because they don't often go broody and they are known to be "gentle giants". You could also try Faverolles. Easter eggers and Welsummers are also usually quite friendly- they lay colorful eggs, too. But do keep in mind that even if a breed isn't known to be broody, it's still possible, and you should be prepared.
Are you planning on getting a rooster for your flock, or all female chicks?

I'm surprised at the Jersey Giant comment, my one Jersey Giant was the only hen out of 10 I had that went broody and did so twice within a year. That said she was laid back and friendly, albeit talkative. Currently I have one JG chick and she seems just as mellow and laid back thus far.

Easter Eggers and Favorelles are both good breeds, I'm partial to EEs just because of the randomness of colors in birds and eggs, but both are great. I haven't had any experience with Welsummers, but have SLW, 2 GLW, and 2 Columbian Wyandotte chicks, they seem to be very bossy thus far (especially the one SLW as she's the oldest and the biggest and currently the boss chick) but they might mellow out when they mature.

Well..I like Speckled Sussex, brown leghorn and Orpington but not Buff.

I'll recommend Speckled Sussex, I have one in my flock named Bella and she is a wonderful bird, very very curious, and friendly. Easy to handle and likes people but also headstrong - leader of the pack. She's not scared of anything and was the first chick to walk right up to me when I sat down in the run and jump on my knee.

I love them because they are almost stupid...

She minds me of a terrier dog. Friendly and foolhardy.
