Lt. Brown Leghorns all the above mentioned qualities and charateristics and very beautiful to look at all day long. Excelent foragers you'll prolly never see them in the coop 'cept to lay and roost other than that they'll be busy, very self-sufficient

I think the reason someone mentioned brown leghorns instead of white is because the whites are easier for predators to see. I hear that the rump less Araucana are the best free rangers. They can escape predators and fly well yet are friendly.
