what is the #1 most popular egg laying chicken breed in The United States?

If you mean for back yard flocks its probably rhode island reds and their hybrids - production reds and red stars (they are a sex link hybrid).

I would think a close second would be buff o's or astrolorps followed closely by easter eggers.

Leghorns. BA's do well also. Sexlinks as well. Leghorns have been bred to be egg factories. They are flighty and pretty well useless for meat, though.

EE's are very popular because of the green or blue eggs that you MIGHT get -- you might also get "pink," or beige -- but they start laying a lot later, as a group, than these others.
