I personally adore my speckled sussex. They are handy foragers and lay quite well and are very inquisitive. Plus when free ranging they have a natural camo outfit!
I had welsumers and loved them too. They lay a beautiful terra cotta colored egg with dark speckles.
On the leghorns I have had a few. They thought I was Godzilla and ran like I was the monster! That flightiness can make your other hrns react the same way too...the 'if youre scared I'm scared too' chicken thought process. They do lay very well even in the heat but they also burn themselves out quickly because of that. In the future I will opt for red sex links instead as they tend to be quieter.
I should have pushed the quote button because now I can't remember what breeds that you were asking about. Posting on my mobile phone has its limitations!
Everyone stay safe in the storms!
I really love all of my EEs as well. The colored eggs are requested by all but one of my egg buyers.
