Buff Orps are good.... Hatchery stock is more production then breed standards so they will not be as heavy well bodied as they should be.
Golden Comets are just a sex linked production breed should lay very well.
Australorps are a bit flighty from my experience but again hatchery stock tends towards production rather then breed type/standards.
Never had any naked necks so can't say on those..

should be fun though

Come jump into the washingtonian thread and have fun!
