What is your favorite Chicken Breed?

[mrballance]

Asking what my favorite chicken breed is like asking who's your favorite parent, for me. Every breed has so many good qualities. But my top three are Barred Rocks, Red/Black Sex-Links, and White Leghorns. All are good layers, hardy, and sweet. If you take egg production seriously, White Leghorns are the way to go, but Sex-Links also lay well if you want brown eggs. Barred Rocks are also good layers, and are very docile and sweet.

My favorite, that I have worked with so far in my 38 years.... Silver Laced Wyandottes. Friendly, easy to keep, and they thrive up here in Minisnowta. Super egg layers despite the cold too.

Really? I might have to try Silver-Laced Wyandottes, then; I live up in Minnesota too, always have to watch for good, cold-hardy breeds.
