I'm fairly new to the world of chookery but from my research it's all about the Mediterranean breeds, bred in areas of Spain and Italy (for the most part). The most famous of these breeds is the leghorn, known for producing close to a gazillion eggs a year (okay 300) and the classic white feather red comb look. They come in all sortsbof colors besides white if you look around. Another one of Ive read does well in heat is the Easter egger, basically a mix of breeds that has a nice amount of "hybrid vigor" that makes it well suited for just about anywhere. Sikies do well too, coming from SE Asian stock. Hope this helps!

I have had my share of leghorns not a pet friendly bird and I the moths I raised them 500-100 at a time. They are great producers but not what I want for a limited backyard flock

So I’ve placed my order and it’s all said and done trying a mix with some new breeds.

I forgot to say ! It's fun to try different breeds; you will find some that many like, not for you, and others that you'd never consider, just perfect!
