What Breed should I pick

[Hweber]

I am planing on setting some eggs soon and was woundering what chicken breed would be best, I currently have cross bread chickens that I got from my grandmothers flock, I would like to have a few varieties, I live in southern Illinois and my chickens never lay very well in the winter, I would like a steady flow of eggs all year and something that can handle hot and cold climates, any suggestins would be appreciated

Black australorp and speckled sussex are friendly, calm, good foragers, and lay extremely well.

I have faverolles and they lay well. I have a black silkie that lays every day. its hard to pick just one....I like them all.
