Better than Rubies, I would absolutely say my Speckled Sussex! They love to be held! Here are my parents with two S. Sussex.

OE is Olive Egger.
They lay nice dark green olive colored eggs.
They are a cross of a blue egger and a dark brown layer.

I personally kept getting easter eggers that had issues so gave up and keep just brown layers and one leghorn.

Aw. :( What issues did they have?

That's sweet. They sound like such lovely birds, and I really want one. If my parents let me get chicks next spring, Lord willing, I really want to get one of those. Pretty much ever since I started getting serious in looking in specific breeds (and ones I found pretty, too), I've wanted a Speckled Sussex. :)
And in your poll, I didn't vote, because I kind of found it hard to choose which breed I'd prefer, haha.
 
@Better Than Rubies
So many issues...
Cross beaked
Split wing
Egg binding due to every egg being a double yolker
Shell issues from calcium deposits, sand paper shells and no shells
Never laying a single egg ever in 4 years
And some seriously aggressive birds on top of that.
:barnie I only ever had 2 decent ones out of ten tries.
