Best Chicken Breeds for Families

Raising chickens is becoming more and more popular, especially for families who want to have a source of fresh eggs and enjoy the benefits of watching these charming birds roaming around their yards.

However, not all chicken breeds are created equal. Some breeds are more suitable for families with children, while others are not. 

In this blog post, we’ll discuss the best chicken breeds for families to raise based on their temperament, personality, and egg-laying abilities.

They left out the most docile and friendliest chicken I ever owned - the Naked Neck.

I've got Buff Orpingtons too, and while they're friendly as hell the Naked Neck is downright affectionate, running towards me when she sees me step out of the house and trying to jump into my arms. She even makes kind of a purring chirp whenever I pet her.
She's so docile that when her coopmate was killed by a feral dog a couple months ago, I put her in the other coop with the 'friendly' Buff Orpingtons for company and they bullied her so badly I had to put her back in her old coop by herself after a couple weeks. She just wouldn't stand up for herself.
