What Breed of Chicken is Your Favorite Ever?

[Rfalls]

Hi All! Very new still, here & raising chickens lol. I am curious to know what your favorite breed is? I understand each one has it's own personality, but just overall. I currently have lavender orpingtons but I really want to get another breed that just sticks out. Thanks!

I love my Welsummer hen. I have only one, but she is just chill.

Easter Egger. I keep trying different breeds, but my EEs are still the friendliest, healthiest, and most reliable layers.

I love all breeds of chicken. I'm just picky about solid white colored birds, & high Production hybrids.

My Andalusian hen is my favorite. Their breed is very active and beautiful!

I LOVE Buff Orpingtons! So friendly, pretty good layers of large eggs, and very good foragers!
Also love Speckled Sussex and Prairie Bluebell Egger!

When we first started I'm sure we would have said Black Australorps, but we've grown quite fond of our Brahmas to the point my hubby said we need all Brahmas lol we have 4 light and 4 buff lol they are friendly, decent layers, calm, social. And big!

I love all Orpingtons ill never be without one in my flock!
Brahmas are also amazing
I also really like Russian Orloffs although i didnt get to have one long, im hatching out some more!
And so far Standard Cochins and Bantam Cochins i like their colors and personalities

I will stay away from and super high production, after my Cinnamon queen had some egg problems.

My salmon favorelles are one of my top favorites. They have a ton of personality and are SPUNKY! Very friendly but my two are quite loud.
Although the title of favorite for my salmon favorelles may be overtaken by my new batch of appenzeller spitzhaubens. They are almost a week old but they are the most friendly and active chicks I have had.
