What chicken breeds are best for holding/tame?

And I imagine most of the major poultry producers in the state each have their own tester.

I have only 12 chickens of various breeds, 1 barred rock, flys onto my shoulder whenever I enter the coop and stays there even when feeding worms to the other gals. Whenever I sit down to visit with the girls, bella, an Americana crawls into my lap. And precious, a marans circles my feet til I finally pick her up and pet her. She loves it and won't stop til she gets her lovin. I think it all depends on how they were raised, and how much time you spend with them.

So sweet.

OP seems more interested in chickens that tolerate handing rather than seeking handling out. @keithandmarchant may need to clarify.

The chicken breeds I am thinking of tolerate being held , but do not seek attention for holding. Chicken breeds that are very calm and friendly, such the cochin.

I have had many breeds. But I would have to say my specialty, D’Uccle’s have always been the sweetest.
You can snuggle them they will follow you around and they love to just be stroked! Now I can’t speak for each D’Uccle out there because all are different but they are sweet.
