Buying new chicks on Friday, what should I get?

[eellsworth]

Our local farm supply store has a great variety of chicken breeds this year. I have 12 chickens right now, the oldest in the flock are 3 years old. I'm going to be getting rid of 6, and I want to replace them with some different breeds. Here's what I have so far (the * indicates they are getting sold):

3 Buff Orphingtons
1 White Leghorn*
2 Black Sexlinks*
2 Silver Laced Wyandottes*
1 Black Australorp*
2 Easter Eggers
1 Barred Rock

What are your favorite breeds? The farm supply store is getting some Welsummers in, and those have been on my wish list for awhile. Any semi-common or common breeds that you recommend?

I love Buffs. I Would recommend Red or Gold stars.

I love buffs too! One of my buff hens lays eggs so big they don't fit in the carton.
