I'd look into Silver Appleyards. Metzer just started selling them (wish they'd started last September), so now you can buy fewer of them that are already sexed. Everyone else sells them in larger groups of straight runs. They're bigger than Welsh Harlequins, and apparently are great foragers and layers. As far as personalities, our female Black Swedish is the favorite. The Cayugas and Welsh Harlequins are a little skittish and there's one of each that is VERY loud. In the warmer months when the grass is growing we put a kiddie pool out a few times a week in different spots and dump it at night. Make sure you move it around if you do this or you'll kill the grass underneath in no time.
