We've had easter eggers, cuckoo marons, barred rocks, orpingtons, and wyndotts. Hands down, the rhode island red is the best chicken we've ever had. Both males and females are super friendly. They'll hang out with us all day long, sit on our laps, shoulders, even our head!! They even follow us around the yard like dogs. Can't imagine not having this breed around. Not to mention, pretty much nothing lays more eggs.
FYI - We live in upstate NY, closer to Canada than NYC. Our summers will hit the 100's with relatively high humidity, and our winters can easily hit -30. These guys do great in all of it.
