I'm just curious what everyone's favorite breed of chicken is. Personally I want a chicken for an egg layer but I would also prefer one that is more friendly, and unique looking like the Appenzeller Spitzhauben or Booted or Brabanter.
 
I was thinking about a silkie. I heard they can get broody but if mine did I would probably just try to get hatching eggs for it to sit on.
 
I recommend looking into Langshans. They're really the ultimate homesteading fowl. They're good egg layers, decent eating, super hardy, steady personality, happy to hatch and raise their own for you, very adaptable to all climates and conditions, be it confined pens or ranging. Oh and they're completely breathtaking when bred properly and it's not unusual for a good male to reach 30" in height by the time he stops growing, the hens stand tall and statuesque as well.
 
I like Silkies and Buff Orpingtons
