Best winter layers... cast your vote

[Want Less]

In your chicken experience... whats your vote for best winter laying breed?

(Natural laying, not with the assistance of lights to extend daylight)

Australorps - just watch the Roos combs for frostbite or EE's they consistantly lay equally as well.

mine are new to laying, haven't gone through a winter yet, but I also have Australorps, I also hear BSL (which I have) are good layers...will have to get back to you on this subject

Leghorns. Mine were champs all winter long - they are 1/day layers, each one of them. They never miss a day! You do have to be careful for frostbite, though. No lights for them last year. (my other breeds all had lights on a timer so can't say for sure how they would have done without that).
