My Orpingtons are at the bottom of the pecking order, the rooster is okay. I prefer a roo that is not afraid to come up to me though. He is skittish but would never hurt anybody.
Easter Eggers: Variety of feather colors, can lay pink, brown, blue, or green eggs, they are very pretty with their muffs and are okay for meat. Also the chicks sell fast.
Deleware: Brown eggs, they fit your color preference, good meat birds.
I haven’t seen anybody mention this, but lavender...
