Thanks I figured RIR's and WL's would get high marks. I have 12 RIR in the bator now, and my father in law is overrun with leghorn hens and offered some to me for free. I am thinking of getting the BCM's from a local farmer in the form of hatching eggs. I like how the BCM's have that really dark brown shell, and how well white, brown, and dark brown cartons full of eggs would look, but I am not sure how well they lay.
