I have no idea about types, but I have been trying to do some research about Rhode Island Reds. I hear that they are good for the climate and produce a daily egg.

Yep, the RIR's are good layers.
Also good layers will be your Barred Rocks and Black Australorps.
They're also good foragers, so they'll cut down on your feed bill.
I LOVE Black Australorps since they're so beautiful and they're friendly.

Are RIR mean or temperamental?

Greetings from Kansas, blueliquid, and

! Great to have you here! Congratulations on your first chickens. RIRs are great. You might also consider a mixed flock - different birds with different personalities - different colored eggs. Check out the breeds section below if you want to research other breeds! Best of luck to you!
