Wanting a LG breed. WHICH SHOULD I GET?

Hey everyone thanks for all the comments. Not sure what i want yet, but can yall post what breed of LF yall have and if yall are selling eggs?

Look over this chart for traits and types you think would suite. I like a nice mixed flock, what people call 'yard candy' myself, but your decision should be whatever suites your yard and needs.

I have a wide variety of sizes all together. So far the rulers of the roost are my Seramas! I have LF polish, australorps, a salmon fav., & EE's in with my bantams, including the seramas. I have found that they all have their own personalities, and just because one bird of a certain breed works out, doesn't mean another will be just fine too... You're going to have to go about it kind of trial and error, hopefully without the error

I have Langshans, I am not selling eggs right now. Nobody is laying in my pens. Here's a photo of my male:

Blue Female, man...she looked bad!

Hmmm.
How about a Brahma or RIR?

I know australorps and cochins are easy going.

My Marans get along fine with my bantams.

My Welsummers and speckled Sussex also do well with the bantams. Just introduce your birds carefully and gradually, and when you get LF get youngsters so they can grow up with the bantams. Have fun deciding!

Wellsummers and Ameraucana are the best in my opinion.

I would have to second this, Ameraucanas are a docile breed. Sussex are known to large birds bigger than BR or RIR but smaller than the giants. They also have a mild disposition and grow fast. My light Sussex lays a pink egg, and she lays one every day, her mate is a Buff Sussex and he is huge, they are both 6 months old.

Standard cochins they are very large and mellow I raise them and they are around my bantams no problems
