    Best breeds?

    Hello! I already messed up on thread creating, so bear with me. I am searching for a breed that is very docile and friendly, and it would be super fun to have a best friend or someone to cuddle with ;) My issue is that I need a high egg production, preferably 4-5 eggs per week. It would be great...
