If I *hypothetically* wanted to get some coloured egg layers which ones should I get?

What if they are outnumbered by bossy bantams?

Mine are pretty derpy, except Kevin, no one messes with Kevin, so they would probably stand down, but it really depends on the chicken. I know why Kevy is aggressive.

I know they don't really lay "coloured" eggs but I love the colour of their eggs and it will stand out with my white/beige eggs

Or the black and reddish ones?

That kind. But they're too big for my flock. But they're on my list for the future!

They are? Mine are bantam sized... I didn’t order mine as bantams, so I thought that their size was normal, but do they have larger sized Barnevelders??

Idk. I checked and it said they were big.

Checked again. They come in 2 sizes
