Hi Rosie,
You don't say if you have children or other animals. Generally our Blackrocks are good all-round company, the Welsummers like to be near but generally keep to themselves, the others are just bonkers, but the friendliest to small children is an old Warren who will let them pick her up (not always in the correct manner!) and never complains. They are all wary of dogs they don't know, but neighbours animals are fine and they are at home with (wild) rabbits, one especially who joins them for eating layers pellets.

Hi all well if you saw my oher post the 'silly' Blubell has come into lay yay, every day too. Yes, we have 3 children who all like to be involved with the chickens. They are 8, 5 and 3 years old. The Orpington again is just wondefull as she follows us around. She's very docile and super friendly - however she met our 11 month old pup the other day and he came sniffing quietly and she raced for him with her neck feathers up in attack mode it was quite funny but shocking. It reminded me of a cockerel we had growing up that was far from friendly and would literally launch an attack on us children if we dared to get too close!

I would really like different looking chickens but am rather taken with out gold laced so maybe a different colour assortment is in order in spring although I have to say I'd like some smaller birds but not nececarilly bantams and no feathered feet, which is a shame as I LOVE Cochins. From childhood really as I'd bring them into my play caravan and pretend they were my pets  well they were I suppose!
