I've been using Nutrena for my flock ever since the first chickens and have had no problems. The feed gives them good nutrition and energy. The price is also very reasonable.
Pros: Lays lots of eggs, great personality, not aggressive, hardy
I have four Amber Stars and they're great chickens. They've entertained me from day 1 with their cute personalities and continue to do so. They get along great with my other chickens. Their eggs are anything but uncommon right now. Also, they've made it through a rough winter, so that is a good thing.

Pros: very pretty, large, good protector
Cons: roosters can over-mate a bit
I only have a rooster of the Wyandotte breed. He is very pretty and protects my flock well, but he likes my hens a bit too much. I have 14 hens and he really exhausted all of them.
Pros: Sweet, mild tempered, loves to be pet
Cons: None so far
My 4 month old White Star is a great pet. She'll come right over and sit by my leg for comfort and protection, and loves to be pet. She's very mild-tempered, and I haven't seen her get into a fight with any chicken, and vice-versa. I haven't had an egg yet from her, but with her small size, I'm excited to see it.
Pros: friendly, gentle, lays many eggs, broody, large, smart
Cons: none
Our Partridge Plymouth Rock is very friendly and doesn't hurt anyone unless they hurt her. She stands her place in the pecking order, and everyone knows she's the top. She lays large, cream colored eggs and is VERY broody, even in the wintertime. I love her!
Pros: many eggs, gentle, calm, grows to be big
Cons: can be a little mean
I have an Australorp that lays many eggs year-round. She likes to be pet and held, but will chase away any chicken that is below her in the pecking order. Overall, a great chicken.
Pros: Very friendly, big, heals fast
Cons: Roos don't like to be picked up
I got my Plymoth Rocks around march and they grow fast. My soon to be rooster is one of the largest of my new batch of chicks. He loves to be around me and peck at my jeans, but isn't a fan of being held. My hen sufferred an attack from one of my older hens and was bloody all around her tail area, with a vain exposed

, but we confined her and healed her and now she is just as strong as ever!

Pros: Lays HUGE eggs, very protective and broody
Cons: Pecks hard at your finger
I had a Jersey Giant that was HUGE. She was about 9 pounds and ruled the roost, along w/a rooster. She was the first of our chickens to lay an egg, and then started to lay big eggs and eggs with two yolks. She was one hen that everyone, even the roos, knew not to mess around with. Even though she ruled the roost of hens, she never hurt any of them.
Pros: Lays flavorful eggs almost everyday, great foragers
Cons: Roos can be aggressive
I have had Rhode Island Reds for over a year and they have proven to be great layers. They lay large to xlarge eggs and are friendly. Had trouble with two roosters that became aggressive and hurt some of my hens

, but we took care of them and there was no damage to the hens we couldn't heal. If you're intruducing a new batch of chicks to them, you may want to watch them and make sure the oldre ones don't hurt the new ones. Overall, they are a good breed and can survive really cold temps.

Pros: Very friendly, gets along very well
Cons: none
I got three EEs around march and they are full of personality! They all get along with all my other birds. They will eat bugs and other crawly things on the ground. My favorite feature about them is their puffy cheeks and "beard". Would highly reccommend EEs for any chicken keeper.
