I agree. I also want to add welsummers , they lay ( most of the time ) dark-ish speckled eggs and don’t go broody, and also my welsummers are supper calm. My little brother who is 3 years old can hold and pet her , and she likes it.I enjoy my Brahmas and Barred Rocks-both breeds have their downfalls but they are both decent layers (Brahma avg 4 a week and BR 5). Our Barred Rock is very vocal, aggressive towards chicks (could just be her and not a breed thing) but has been great with allowing me/kids to grab and hold her, no health problems so far. Brahmas as a tad dramatic and vocal as well. They are more skittish and don't tolerate being held as much as our Leghorn and Barred Rock.
