What breeds suck up/are friendly to you the most?

My silver laced wyandotte, DEFINITELY. I was thinking of naming her Buddy, I love it so much! My Jersey giant comes next, but isn't nearly as much as a suck up as the SLW, haha.

Shes 5 weeks old, I'm curious how she'll be when she's all grown up!

My Speckled Sussex pullets and my golden comet hens are the friendliest. But they all come running when they see me because I am the feeder of the flock.
 
My biggest suck ups are the Bourbon Red Turkeys - I can gain 30+ lbs bending over in the poult pen, or in the turkey pen, lap, back and shoulder birds...

Followed by my partridge rocks and my BA/BR baby Wrongway. The Delawares are ALWAYS under foot or lap leaping. Silly things. But they peck hard even when just "investigating" OW.
 
I have several breeds, and it surprises me the ones that are the biggest suck-ups. Mostly it's my Isa Brows (a production breed). This shocks me, considering they are bred with only egg-laying in mind. It's an added special bonus that they're so darn friendly! Next are my EEs. VERY friendly, not afraid of much, and follow me around the point I sometimes step on them!
 
emartin forgot to mention that the barred rock pullet is no more than two feet behind him when he is walking around the yard and he actually has to look down before he resumes walking if he stopped to make sure he doesn't step on any. Plus the girl follows him up the steps and onto the deck as well expecting bread or sunflower seeds.
 
My BLRWs, Potpie and Lacey. DH and I like to eat on the patio during the summer and Potpie will jump on my lap and start eating off my plate if I don't watch her! We call them the "Terror Birds" because they rule the backyard.
I have two EEs, Kung Pao and Dumpling, and they are currently free ranging with Potpie, Lacey and Drumstick (aka Stupid the rooster). Those two girls are learning Potpie and Lacey's bad habits! I secretly love it, though.
