Everybody loves chickens, it's because chicken eggs are one of the staples of human food.

You can boil them, fry, scramble them and they are one of the most wanted ingredients when making breads or pastries.

If you're like me you might even have chickens in your own backyard.

If you want to raise chickens for their eggs, then you may consider the following chicken breeds.

So I've put together a list of the best chicken breeds that could satisfy your craving for eggs:

Here's my list (I'll add more as I find them)

Cream Crested Legbar

The hen could lay up to 180 bluish and greenish eggs per year - that's one every couple of days - not too bad.

Yes, not all eggs are white.

The Cream Crested Legbar is also a well-behaved chicken. It could stay put in your chicken coop because they are not flighty.

The Cream Crested Legbar has a crest on the back of its head.

Oddly enough, female ones have larger crests than the males.

They are attractive chickens with a firm and muscular body that they got from their crossbreed ancestors such as the Brown Leghorn, Bbarred Rock and Araucana.

This chicken breed is pretty popular among chicken raisers because of its colourful eggs.
