Thats funny cause my Australorps are the least friendliest of the bunch! They just kinda hang out with themselves lol!

I found that true with the ones I had as well. They are friendly to the owner though, I think that is what Inkheart meant. I sold all the ones I had as the Golden Comets were laying so much better. The BA's are reported to be one of the best layers there is. The thing is, if you want to incubate eggs don't get GCs as they are not a standard breed like the BAs are. Depends what you want them for.

What breeds do you have? what are your favorite for our lovely state of OHio?

I've no experience with these, but any true Buckeye would surely want some. Note: I'm not a native born Ohioan. My favorite right now are Easter Eggers.

Dumb question here...could you tell me what are Easter Eggers? Are they Americaunas? I have 4 that lay blue/green eggs and, well, I guess I don't know what they are!

Easter Eggers (or EEs) are usually a mixed breed chicken that lays blue, green, or pink eggs. Sometimes they can be a pure-bred Auracana or Ameraucana that is an unrecognized color for the breed. True Auracanas are rumpless and are somewhat rare.

There are actually a couple threads that talk about that - but the previous post is true - lovely mutts that lay colored eggs - or an un recognized color
