Orpingtons are very friendly and make relatively good layers. if you want a good layer, I'd recommend leghorns, but if they are not handled enough as chicks (as with all chickens) they can become fearful or nervous. the most foolproof way to get a chickens to respond to you, is, in my experience, to raise it alone and without any other chicks around it, and INSIDE the house, where it will get the most attention. in doing this, YOU become the mother hen, and that stays throughout the chicken's life. although this probably works with all chickens, i tried this method on a leghorn who is now the sweetest thing, but doesn't like any other chickens but her "friend" Darkflight, one of my mixed breed roos. so if you want chickens that are social with people but not other chickens, try that. also I'm sure it would work with a SMALL flock of two or three raised that way.....
