What is your favorite breed of chicken and why?

[Sunny-Side Up]

Hi y'all!
I was just thinking the other day about what the most popular chicken breed was. What better place to find out than BYC? My guess is Easter Eggers will be the most popular. And sorry if your favorite breed isn't on here -- I can only put so many choices. If you like a different breed, or even another species, go ahead and reply.

Chanteclers. They're good layers, meaty, hardy, beautiful, even in temperament, and range wary.

I love EEs and orpingtons. They are so nice and the EEs are so pretty.

I love my buff orpingtons! They have all the great qualities I need in my flock! They lay well and are great mothers! They are also so, so cuddly!!!!

Marans are my favorite breed, but sexlinks and easter eggers have the best personality.

I also love my marans. They lay specked eggs!

I looove my EEs! So docile and sweet! However, I’d love to have a little troop of silkies. I’ve never had one and they look so fuzzy!
