Who is sweetest? Well, I have a few varieties & all have their sweeties, but that's how I raised them...with hugs. They know me, the sound of my voice. They've gotten to know my sweetheart & now love him, too.
Barred Rock, RIR & Wyandotte are not typically snuggle lap sitters, but once I put one on my lap, they're content while I fuss over them, check for mites, trim toe nails & pet.
My EEs, ISAs, Comets & Buff Orpingtons are the love bugs!

They will actually try to sit on my lap the moment I sit down. They'll even be tugging at my shirt sleeve if another chicken is getting too much attention...like hey Mom, what about me?
I have a few surprise mix breeds, they are a mix of who knows what, I kinda rescued them. They were skittish when I got them, but now they're ok with me picking them up & fussing over them. Befriending chickens is easy once they trust & know you mean no harm. I think when they witnessed me chasing off the hawks, I probably scored some brownie points then, too.
I'd have to say, my EEs, ISA Browns & Comets are the most outgoing & congenial of all. The ISAs & Comets are the Most fearless though. Their curiosity outweighs any fear & they are the 1st to willingly jump in my lap or run up to me & they are very sweet with other chickens. If a another chicken tries to bully or peck them, they either totally ignore the bully or look at the bully with an expression...like hey Dude, what's up, no need to be miserable, life is good.

It's really amazing, because usually in the pecking order, someone is Always chasing someone else, but the ISAs & Comets Do Not Run. They stand their ground, yet remain cheerful! Can't chase or bully a chicken that won't run or cower & stays cheerful.The bully looks at them like, "Oh, guess you just aren't into sparring", & then just walks away! Fight diffused & over before it starts! They are amazingly good natured, refusing to engage in petty squabbling, thereby ensuring peace & harmony.
I've added a few ISAs & Comets to groups that were always chasing or pecking & All petty bickering & pecking stopped! I don't know if anyone else has gotten these results, but I swear those cute little ISAs & Comets are the peace keepers in my flock & are quite dear to me.
