My Madagascar Games (naked neck) is my favorite chicken. She is super-quiet, super-sweet and a decent layer. My Brown Sex Link is also very sweet and quiet and a VERY good layer. I also have a Buckeye who is quiet-ish and a good layer. She is nice but doesn't have that super-charming personality of the others. My Blue Cochin is not quiet and not very nice (skittish). She is a hoot, though.
