Vote for the best brown layer!!!

I don't really understand the point of you asking opinions if you're going to argue with everyone who answers and tell them Rhode Island Reds are best. Just get your Rhode Island Reds. Also, you are incorrect, a Production Red (Rhode Island Red x New Hampshire) does in fact breed true after the original cross. Good luck!

True! Exactly what I was going to say!

If those are your only poll options I would go with the Rhode island red. I would never even consider Delawares since mine only lays 10 eggs a year and my Australorp is notable for too many breaks. I would never consider a Rhode island red for my flock however due to their aggressive behavior. The last breed I need in my flock is one that is remarkable for their cannibalism.

My N.Hamps lay better than my RIR.

Yes, however, I found your interpretation of sexlinks inaccurate in my experience. I was merely pointing out my experience, my apologies.

Sex links can be compared only with white leghorns.
I made a poll only for the three commercial ladies.
A different poll.

My N.Hamps lay better than my RIR.

Many people in Greece claim that NEW HAM lay better than RIR.......

They do have aggressive behavior. This is the main drawback of the breed.

So far my NHR is as consistent as my leghorn. Although I dont have substantial data yet because they are new layers. So far the nhr has laid an egg 7 of 7 days. The leghorn 3 of 3 days but layed 2 eggs one of the days. Nhr eggs are a bit larger. We all know legs are prolific egg layers so i used it for comparison to the nhr. Im leaning towards nhr in the polls. Hardy, robust birds with a calm disposition? Can you beat it? With that said I voted RiR lol! My rir were awesome! Can I change my vote?

I THINK YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR VOTE.
DON'T TRY TO COMPARE LEGHORNS AND SEX LINKS TO NEW HAMSHIRES.
THEY ARE NOT BREEDS ANYMORE.
THEIR PARENT STOCK HAS NUMBERS!!!!!
THE TERMINAL CROSSES ARE MONEY MAKERS, NOT BREEDS.

Interesting... however your original question is just about the type of chicken, so it assumes all other variables are equal... if all of these different chickens lived in the same climate in the same house with the same feed and same water and same hours of daylight, which would lay the most eggs, for the most of the year, for the most number of years, and produce the best laying offspring, etc.

Which is why this poll is, as are many other polls, ridiculous.
Too many variables. Funny how it seems questions are posed with no definitive answer possible just to start a debate.

Hahaha.
And bear in mind that I don't press anyone to vote if they don't want too.
