Barred rocks. I love my lavender orpingtons and austrolorps but my rocks take first place

I would go for old english bantams, silkies, jersey giants, or polish. I would want to prepare a flock of ahow birds because I want to be show my birds someday.The question is simple: if you could only keep one breed, whether or not you have it now, which one would you choose? I realize that this is a hard question, as a lot of people keep different breeds for different reasons. But the fun questions are rarely the easy ones.
My friendly, reliable Black Australorps.
I've had many different breeds. Not knocking anyone on their choices, it's all down to personal preferences, all of them are awesome!!The question is simple: if you could only keep one breed, whether or not you have it now, which one would you choose? I realize that this is a hard question, as a lot of people keep different breeds for different reasons. But the fun questions are rarely the easy ones.
I have two EEers who look totally different. Bertha is yellow and lays blue eggs and H. R. Puffinstuff (Puff or Puffipoo for short) is grey and lays brown eggs! Love them both.If I could only have one breed, but I could have it in multiple colors, I would pick hatchery-quality standard cornish (and I would then select for better egg laying, thus poorer meat production--so they would basically be dual-purpose chickens.)
Why? Because I like pea comb, clean legs, brown eggs, and multiple colors. Preferably in a dual-purpose type bird. (Easter Eggers don't lay brown eggs, Brahmas have feathered legs, Buckeyes only come in one color--there really aren't many pea-comb chicken breeds to choose from.)
