If you are looking for egg production, I'd definitely recommend this breed.
Our leghorn is smart and paranoid; you have to corner her in the coop or work really hard to take her by surprise if you want to catch her. She got loose one night and even in the dark, she was almost impossible to catch. Once you catch her though, she's pretty docile.
She faithfully lays an egg every day, with a day every now and then when she takes a break.
We rescued her as an adult and after the necessary quarantine and introduction time with my other adult birds, she gets along fine. She isn't really a social butterfly and tends to do her own thing. I thought the others would pick on her since she's a bit of a loner, but she's pretty dominant and doesn't take any sass from anyone, including the rooster. I don't know that I would want my whole flock made of this breed, but having a few mixed in with other breeds definitely helps maintain consistent egg supply.

I bought one for my meat birds and liked it, so I bought another for my hens. So far so good.
I think it's easy to take the base/tray off to clean; a bottle brush gets in all the little nooks and crannies. The hole in top is large enough to get inside to clean. I haven't had any trouble with the top being too tight/hard to remove (except the one time my husband screwed it on WAY too tight...) I like that the spout has a little cap so the water doesn't leak out when I carry it around. Yeah, it's a little heavy; but that's to be expected as it's 3 gallons. When we move the birds farther away for their ranging, I might have to put both waterers in the wheel barrow to move them when full. We haven't tried to hang them yet (and after reading some of the reviews, we might not). We just have them sitting on half-sized cinder blocks and that seems to work fine. The place where I got them from has replacement O-rings and caps , which is nice if I ever need them...
