Which "spangled" breed?

[GothChick]

I am limited on the number of chickens I can have. I would like to have one "spangled" or tri-colored chicken, but can't decide which to pick.

Desired traits:
Friendly
Quiet
Can handled confinement
Good egg layer
Cold hardy

Breeds I'm considering:
Jubilee Orpington
Speckled Sussex
Russian Orloff

Orpingtons are notoriously friendly, and exceptional chickens for a family. They are even tempered and calm. It has been said that their docile nature makes them easily picked on by others in a flock. Eggs: The Buff Orpington is a good layer of medium sized brown eggs.

The speckeled sussex: Their calm and docile personality means that they're adaptable to most kinds of living arrangements. They love to forage so make great free-rangers, but they're calm enough to be able to cope with a more confined space too - ideal if you don't have a lot of room.

Russian Orloffs are calm, friendly, and do well in a mixed backyard flock. Eggs: This breed lays a reasonable amount of brown eggs, but their ability to lay through the winter makes up for their lack of excellence through the rest of the year.

Yea, that's kind of what I found about the breeds also. Hence why I am having a problem picking one. All the breeds sound great but I only have space left for 1 of them.

Maybe get an Easter Egger, they come in a variety of colors and most are multicolored...this is my Easter Egger hen Wendy

We already have some EEs. I'm allowed 6 hens and I am looking for a "spangled" colored breed to add to the flock. The other spots are already decided.

Ahh...Maybe get a Spangled Hamburg or an Appenzeller Spitzhauben.

I really vote for the Speckled Sussex!! My girl is one of the most personality-heavy chickens I have, she comes running, no, sprinting whenever she sees one of us! Lays eggs very reliably and extremely cold hardy..I live in Wyoming and if you know anything about Wyoming weather, you'll know what I mean.
