I would choose a breed that would do well in the climate that you live in.

What breed is a good egg layer and does well in cold weather?

All that I have listed as my signature do very well in our climate. The marans and easter eggers lay every other day the rest about 6 days a week.

Welcome aboard. I am in southern Illinois. Most any dual purpose breed will do fine where you're located at. I'm a big fan of buckeyes myself.
