Wow thanks all! I was thinking Australorps over Buff Orps because of egg production, with the Lorps laying more... right? But with Buff Orps going broody much more often, I am thinking the slight egg drop is worth it with the Buff Orps...
Thanks! Please keep the comments coming.
EDIT: Well now I am thinking the opposite. With Buff Orps having not as good egg production... any cross would lose the egg numbers of the leghorn, and it wouldn't be as meaty as a Buff Orp. So maybe Lorps would be better as I would at least still have the high egg production in any cross... if one goes broody, great, if not, I can incubate. Chicken breeding is quite complicated
