New Hampshire

Good birds that I have found to be a solid foundation or core for the flock. Dependability of egg production is a huge perk.

Helps that one of the hens, Rocky, has attached herself to me as well and follows me around the yard.

Nice birds, great layers of large-exlarge brown eggs but my personal experience the roos were very aggressive. The hens are dominate but not to the point of what would be a problem in a large coop.

I love my hens. They each lay 4-6 eggs a week. They always come running to say "Hi!" when I go outside, and surprisingly enough its not always for food. I'll throw some scratch for them, and often they'll be more interested in following my wife, or me (or sometimes the dog, or cat, both of which completely ignore the chickens) around our property.
Unfortunately, our rooster is highly aggressive. Despite proper "training" (for him and us), he will attack us and our pets every time our backs are turned. I've heard New Hampshire roosters are often aggressive, and ours is (unfortunately) no exception.
5 stars for the hens
3 stars for the rooster (he is obnoxious, but is a good protector)

Hens are great reliable egg layers of a large brown egg. They do not like to be held but are very friendly especially when you have treats. Overall a great breed for a person looking for a friendly, egg laying hen.

Great layer of large brown eggs. Good feed conversion, excellent foragers. Very reliable. Hens can be bossy and roosters can be mean, but they tame down well. I have had to weed out the bad apples but they weren't all that way. Generally they are great birds to have around.

They also handle confinement well, but without a roof it takes a 6 ft fence.
