Which of these chickens should i get?

[fur-mum]

I've a mix of bantams and LF and have had only a few problems with banty's getting picked on. And that bully was mean to the LF too (no longer have her). My silkie (bantam) holds her own quite well, and no one picks on her, ever. Her only problem is that she can't get as high to roost as the others due to the lack of flying feathers.

My two EE and D'uccle are the least friendly birds that I have. Scared of everything.

My chocolate orpington is the calmest and most docile of the whole crew.

Buff Crested Polish - Never kept any, so no experience as of now.

Black Copper Marans - Love this breed, especially for egg color. Nothing compares to chocolate in your eggs cartons! Very docile birds, easy to handle, and quite cold-resistant.
Buff Orpington bantam - I've no experience with the bantam BOs, but my standard girl is quite nice. Once again, good layers, quite docile, though not terribly "friendly" per se. (that's just my opinion)
Barred Rock bantam - no experience, but heard nothing but glowing reviews about them! My standard hens are among the most persistently loving.
Speckled Sussex - ADORED my Sussex, Mairead, who tragically got killed by a hawk this winter. She was hands down one of my favorites in all respects. Simply to-die-for in the looks department, her plumage was unbelievably flashy, great layer, smart as a whip, and last, but not least, incredibly friendly.
Snowy Easter Egger - Easter Eggers are possibly the most interesting breed of them all, since down color as a chick has no bearing on adult plumage! On top of that, there's no telling their future egg color. I equate the experience to Christmas morning, such optimism going in to it and element of surprise. So gorgeous, some are quite personable and others not so much (but isn't that true for everything?), and very prolific layers.
Mille Fleur d’Uccle bantam - Can't say enough about this breed! I have 5 right now and I absolutely adore them beyond words! Once again, simply breathtaking with their spangles, fluffy beards, and luxurious feathering. Decent layers of small off-white eggs. Friendly, friendly FRIENDLY little munchkins!!!! I can barely get anything done in the coop with them around....unless I want to face constant cries for love. Great, 5-star breed.
Buff Brahma bantam - I only had one, a cockerel, and he is now gone because he was human aggressive. Not an accurate representation of the breed, unfortunately.

Buff crested polish - no experience

Black cooper marans - no experience, but ooh la la on the chocolate eggs!

Buff Orpington bantam - no experience with bantam, but my standard is sweet and beautiful. Such a pretty face. She’s like a ballerina with a giant tutu.

Barred rock bantam - no experience with bantam, but my standard girl is beautiful, friendly, calm, and confident. She seems very sturdy, for lack of a better word.

Speckled sussex - Oh so beautiful and oh so sweet. The most magnificent feathers and a very gentle spirit. Mine is low in the pecking order, but seems very robust.

Snowy easter egger - no experience

Mille Fleur d’Uccle bantam - no experience, but my friend had one and they’re super pretty!

Buff Brahma bantam - no experience, but my standard Light Brahma is sooooo adorable!!! She is stunning, calm, and friendly, but has this awkwardness about her that is so endearing.

Good luck and have fun!
