What's Your Single Breed Flock and Why

[jxp]

From reading various posters on here it seems most people have mixed flocks - probably because there's so many to explore. What I'm interested to find out with this thread is those of you who have but one single breed is ... What's your breed of choice? Why'd you choose it? Have you in the past raised other breeds? Do you in the future plan to change? What's the best thing about your breed? Has anything surprised you about your breed (good or bad)? Etc. etc.

Here's your chance to crow about your breed of choice. And since I and others are still learning about all the various varieties, feel free to add a picture of two.

I don't have a single breed flock, but I do favor bantam cochins, and polish. I personally am interested in the looks and behaviors, more so than egg or meat production.
