Plymouth Rock Barred, more commonly called Barred Rock.

A Barred Rock or BLRW hen...love them. Lost mine to a coon.

Oh my! Too hard of a decision. I love my Salley Favs but if they were sold out, bummer!

I do not like my barred Rocks, too pushy and mean to my other breeds.
I have what you are getting for the most part.
I like my Easter Eggers or hatcheries call them Ameraucanas/Araucanas. I love my cuckoo Marans as well as my blue Copper or black Copper Marans. I like all my Wyandottes and I have BL, SL and BLR.
Mostly I love my Cochins but you have one picked so you will see.

The Black Australorp is another one to consider. They are sweet, friendly, docile, and hardy. And good winter layers, too!

Easter Eggers!

Ditto on the Black Astralorp!! - I have Wyandottes, Welsummers and 1 Black Astralorp and she is the sweetest and friendliest of all of them - sits in my lap whenever she gets the chance -

- they are 12 weeks as of yesterday.......

You have black, yellow, black and white, white, and who knows what color the silkie is. I suggest a red bird, the Speckled Sussex. It should meet your criteria well and they are gorgeous.

i say easter egger , silver laced wyandot or barred rock those were my most dosile , friendly girls , the EE's regularly fall asleep in my daughters lap (even at 7 weeks old)
