I've taken the post to mean if you could keep one last chicken of a particular breed what/which/who would it be.
Your very last chicken... what would it be?
It is, and she's here. She's a Marans, but I wouldn't care what she was.
We've been together for almost ten years. She doesn't lay eggs really any more. Just a handful last year to show willing. We've seen lots come and go over the years. She could tell you some stories. I've told a few of hers.
Here's one of them.

And here she is. She popped over to lay an egg.

How the heck can I pick only one?! Lol!
I think I'd go with Jersey Giant - my hen Olive is probably the sweetest in the flock. Whenever I'm just sitting on the ground, she will come up behind me and lightly peck/scratch me until I pet her or she will just hop into my lap and hang with me for a while. Then she will go about her chicken business
I also had a Jersey Giant Rooster and he was king of the flock. Didn't really pick on anyone and never attacked a person.
