I have several breeds and my favorite is my Barred Rocks. They are very gregarious and curious, always the first to try new things. They are nice to the other chicks and like me the most. They run up to me to greet me and I pet and "hug" them. My barred rock cockeral (young male) is nice and friendly to me and everyone else. My pullet (young female) LOVES my dog, funny to watch her hanging out with him, pecking at him, trying to scratch in his fluffy tail.

Barred Rock is my suggestion. I have no cons to offer you for this breed.

Here's a picture of the pullet (female) barred rock with my dog. Funny story too. I had my family members name the chickens when they were 1 week old. It turned out coincidentally that this chicken was named Little Shadow, after my dog, Shadow.





This isn't the best picture of the Barred Rock cockeral (male). His name is Roadrunner. He's a sweet chickie, my favorite of all.




Good luck picking your chicken and convincing your mom to let you keep them!\

She lays 300+ eggs per year. She laid all through winter w/ no artificial lighting.
 
I agree with ray24. Easter Eggers are the way to go! I am fifteen, and I own three of them. I also have two younger siblings, so they are great with kids. Not only are they sweet, but they are very beautiful!

Breed: Easter Egger
Gender: hens
Pros: friendly, funny, not aggressive, great for families, lay blue eggs!
Cons: hard to tell gender

Because Easter Eggers are a mixed breed, it is harder to tell what gender they are until they are older. Mine are 19 weeks old in these pictures. They won't be your best friend, but they are not aggressive at all and don't mind being handled. I would diffidently recommend getting Easter Eggers. Plus, they are just gorgeous!
