so I own few breeds for colorful egg basket. Easter Eggers for the green/blue eggs (most of them lay blue eggs). Icelandic's for white eggs, brahmas and they lay light brown or some tinded. and I'm also testing the cream legbar to see how I like them, so far I think there great :)
but I only own one hen that lays darker brown egg, cuckoo Maran, I used to have lohmann hens but they got so aggressive to my other hens, and even killed 4 of my sweets hens. so I don't own lohmann brown anymore, which is kinda sad because my first chickens ever where 4 old lohmann that a man saved an egg factory and I then got them, they where so sweet but they where old and died 2 years ago so I got younger hens and they where completely different from these 4 hens I got first and much more aggressive.
so what I'm thinking is I want a chicken breed that has similar brown egg color as the lohmann hens, so I can have all the color in my egg basket. the breed has to be sweet tho so I don't get agressive birds again
what chicken breeds lay similar brown egg as lohmann hens? here's picture of the eggs they where laying. I miss the darker color to the right

how are the new hampshire chicken are they good layers? and are there egg similar brown in color as the lohmann eggs?
 
Try copper star or black rock, they are good layers of brown eggs and docile, but the color is not consistent, google them first
I don't keep Lohmann Brown, it is a pity because the are good layers
