Wich breed should I choose?

[countrygurl]

I need a light brown egg layer that lays well in the winter and is friendly. I can't choose between Speckled Sussex, Wyandottes, Australorps, and Barred rocks. What is your experiance with these breeds?

They are all great. Get one of each and you'll have a colorful flock. Throw an Orp in there too.

I don't have any of the Australors or Wyandottes (but they are such pretty girls) I really want some of them though. I do have 4 Barred Rocks and they are very sweet and friendly birds. They are consistent layers. All of my girls lay well and they are my pets so I don't care if they lay or not. I have White Jersey Giants, Delawares, Araucaunas, and RSL. They all lay nice eggs. To me of all that I have they each have a couple of the girls that are most friendly, so I don't know from my experience if their is one breed friendlier, it is the bird itself that is friendly or not. I have 2 of the Barred Rocks that are friendly than the other 2. Several of the Delawares are friendly and others aren't same with the Araucaunas. I have heard that the Orpingtons are very friendly birds though.

Sorry, hope this helps you just a little, but if it doesn't I am sorry.
