Trying to decide on best bantam breed

[Valley chick]

Hi , I'm looking for more great advice, I'm ordering chicks for my bantam run, I currently have silky,frizzle cochin,and sizzle, I'm adding another silky just because I love them, but I'm going to try a mille duccle' I'm trying to decide on the 3 rd one, I've narrowed it down to
White crested black polish bantam
Buff Brahma bantam
Mottled cochin bantam
I'm looking for docile, our girls are pets and held often, very calm, kid friendly, to fit in with my existing flock I listed, they are in covered run will lay eggs decent even tiny ones , I live in Northern California so summer is Hot, but I have lots of shade and misters, any advice or experience appreciated for my best fit, they are life long pets so I try and choose best personality and production, confinement to run, not free range to many predators here
Thank you

I would go with the Buff Brahma bantam tbh.

Orpingtons come in a bantam version. A little bigger than most bantams though if you are looking for teeny tiny, these are not it. You can get them in a gorgeous chocolate color as well.

Those are all great breeds! Personally, I have found bantam Cochins to be great pets. One of them helped me win Junior Grand Champion at a fair my first year in 4-H. But I think overall it is up to you. Which do you like the looks of best?

Thank you , and yes I do love Orpingtons also I have several in my big girls run, I was worried Brahma bantam or Orpington would be a lot bigger than my little silkys
