Which breed(s) would make a good pet for my niece?

[Thefamilyroom]

Hello everyone!

Hopefully sometime next year I will be able to get my niece a few of her own chickens. She absolutely loves mine, and wants some to be strictly pets. The trouble is she loves all chickens, and cannot make up her mind. She asked me to post on here for ideas.

Here are my rules on what she may get (we share the property with her mom):

1: No bantam roosters; their crows make me want to scream.
2: No heavily feathered legs. We get snow, ice, and lots of mud here, and I don’t want to chance the chicken getting sick and dying on her.
3: It must be a friendly (not flighty) breed, so that she can raise the chicks and actually have friendly pets.

Other than that, I’m very open. I have standard breed birds that free range, but that shouldn’t be an issue since she wants me to build a nice enclosed run for her birds so they don’t get killed.

Thank you!
