What breed of chicken should I get?

[Miss Cheep]

Hello! We are going to get some more chickens, since we just got rid of 16. We are getting 4 white leghorn hens ( for egg production ) and I am allowed to get 1 special chicken of any breed! No bantams because our roosters are too big for them. Here is what I am looking for in a chicken:

~They are beautiful

~They are nice

~They are tame

That's all I'm looking for in a chicken! Any suggestions on what breed to get?

Coronation Sussex's!

Cinnamon Queen and Americauna

The tamest chicken I've ever owned was a Cornish X. You can read all about my pet Cornish ventures if you go to my profile. I have plenty of threads and articles.
Of course, this isn't for everyone.
I love Orpington's. They're friendly, broody, and very tame. Spitzaben's are very fun though I've never owned them. Cochins are always great, and I can't say anything bad about EE's or Marans. I haven't owned the last few breeds, but a friend of mine has an EE that loves attention, along with Marans.

I quite like my naked necks. None of my birds are really 'tame', besides my sebrights though.

Plymouth rocks and australorps are my favourite breeds with the Sussex not far behind.

Thank you for the suggestions! I will research those breeds! I also have another question: What kind of chicken are these? I really like the coloring on it. ( got this pic from the internet) If this is a bantam is there any chicken that looks like this that is not a bantam?

That is a sebright. It is a true bantam (no standard size version). If you like the feather color and comb shape, check out gold laced wyandotte. If you like the feather color and leg color, check out gold laced polish (one of the breeds used in the development of the sebrights). If you like the general shape and stance, check out Old English Game.

Polish are fun and cute, though not good layers, and ours are kinda skittish. I love out Buff Brahmas and Barred Rocks, most social and vocal

Our friendliest hens are our Brahmas. Our best consistent layers are our French Black Copper Marans.
