The family friendliest breed?

I agree, after silkies, Cochin.
Jersey Giants are extremely docile, come in Black, Blue and White and don't go broody as readily as Buff Orpingtons. My Ameracaunas have been friendly and docile. I like Jaerhons too, small size, lots of eggs, quiet bird, very cold hardy.
You'd probably like wyandottes, welsummers or any of the rocks.
Though a favorite of most, I stay away from RIR because they usually dominate all other birds. Cochins wouldn't stand a chance with them.

What exactly are you wanting them for? If you are wanting just a pet and more of a more ornamental breed, I would vote cochin. They are very easy going and friendly. If you are looking for more of a production breed that is friendly, I would vote Rhode Island Reds or Barred Rocks. Both are excellent layers and friendly birds. I am partial to the Rhode Island Reds over the Barred Rocks, but thats just me.

Not HUGE egg eaters, but we can gladly re-gift the eggs to all our friends & family that are!

Well in that case I think you would be happy with the cohins

EE's are still our favorite. I have bought them from several different hatcheries and they all do the best with us and the kids.
I ♥ my Ameraucana, Clarice. She's the most friendly of all my birds.
