There are a lot of these lists out there, and most of them include more or less the same chickens. What I found frustrating when trying to choose breeds was having to rely on information from various sources, and so not feeling sure I was making a true apples to apples comparison. I would appreciate a point by point description of each chicken so I can easily compare pros and cons or see whatever attributes I want to look at. For example, you mention Australorps will lay over winter, and then say that Welsummers are cold-hardy, but that's not the same thing, and a beginner may not understand the difference. I would have to go now to a different source to find out if a Welsummer lays over winter or not, if that's a consideration for me, vs. a one-stop article that addresses all the same considerations for each bird. I do appreciate mentioning that Easter Eggers are not a true breed, because I think they get recommended a lot these days, and I probably would have been disappointed if I had purchased them from tractor supply, only to realize after the fact. While Buff Orpingtons are probably the easiest Orpingtons to get one's hands on, a brief mention that the Orpington breed comes in a variety of colors and that the Buff variety specifically doesn't have any bearing on temperament, might be worth pointing out to a beginner audience as well. Overall it's not a bad article, if nothing earth shattering presented, but fixing broken images and presenting the information in a uniform easy-to-compare format would be great! Always a good reminder that chickens are chickens, a lot depends on how they are raised, and ymmv from one individual bird to the next.
