I don't have experience with many breeds, but I have to say that we love our Black Star sex links more than our ISA browns. They all lay a ton of eggs for us, but the Black Star ones are more friendly and seem to not appeal to predators as much (?) Definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a nice breed that lays a lot of eggs.
Would love to get some Laced Wyandottes or Easter Eggers down the road.

I only have two breeds, a Buff Orp cockerel and three Black 'lorp pullets. The cockerel can be a bit of a jerk, the pullets are quiet and curious. Maybe it's the gender, but I'm going to get more 'lorps, not more orps.

Ok, it's probably the gender.

OEGB: The hen we had was sweet, curious, beautiful and had a cool, upright, non-chicken looking body. We lost her to Mareks, but she was really fun and as close to being a friend as chickens can be. She loved to fly away for days and return to my daughter's windowsill once her adventures were over (this was not something we encouraged).

OEGBs lay tiny white/cream eggs and wouldn't be great meat birds, but we love them.

I like them all, I don't really have a favorite breed. I'm not picky. I picked all that's listed by the way.

Thats okay! That's that whole point! If you like all chicken breeds, pick all of them!

This is tough! I selected orps, 'lorps, and 'other'. While the only breed I own is golden buff (they're so sweet, so friendly, and so funny), I've come in contact with orps and australorps as well, and find them to be super friendly as well, even when they weren't raised around people!
