    I really want a docile and affectionate breed. I would like one that lets you handle them and is very human friendly. Yall know of any ?

    I own a lot of different breeds, but the 2 most docile by far are my silkies and my barred rocks [​IMG]

    My barred rock is super friendly. She hops up onto my lap and cuddles. She loves to be petted and held.
