What's the friendliest chicken breed?

[Cynthia12]

Ok..some of you won't believe it, so I'll post pictures. The friendliest chicken I've had time after time, are my leghorns. Other breeds...red sexlinks! And yes as someone else said favorelles. Mine was a bantam. Good mom. The photo of the legorn with her wings out was just going back down from jumping up to me. And one of a girl nestled down in front of the window. I had to take her to bed to roost. Silly girl.

I believe you!
My friendliest bird is a leghorn RSL cross, close second would be my bantam cochin. My Silkies are sweet, but only few I would call “friendly” which I am interpreting as seeking human contact.

My uncle grew up raising chickens and pheasants, and he told me to go for Orpingtons and Australorps, Cochins, Leghorns, and Plymouths because they are all pretty calm, and breeds that are not strong fliers are easier to manage generally. His advise was to go for crosses or backyard mutts from mixed flocks with these breeds because their temperament is more reliable than backyard claims of purebred, which often means inbred.
I ended up finding Blue Australorp - Buff Orpington crosses, got them at about 16 weeks and they are about 21 now, and they were pretty wild at first but I spent time talking to them when I'm taking care of them and I had to corner them at dusk for the first few weeks to check them over but now 4/6 line up at night for pets, and I can stroke their backs during the day as long as I have treats. Last night I got my first purr.
Everything I have read about those breeds is spot on for my birds.

Silkies, EEs, orpingtons, and Favorelles but any breed you raise from chicks are usually pretty friendly

My Faverolle and my prairie blue bell are my least friendly chickens.

My most friendly are the cuckoo Marans and the Polish. The rest are mostly friendly and chase me around but don't want pet and picked up.
