Legbar

Pros: Pretty
Sweet
Blue eggs
Cons: N/a
Got a pair of these as my starter flock, and am actively working to expand it. The Legbar is just the sweetest little bird! They stay nearby when foraging, lay blue eggs (which was my selling point), and are auto-sexing. I personally think they have the best-tasting eggs of all the eggs I have tried.

Pros: Beautiful
Rare
Cons: Loud
Egg production
Even with the cons, I still give my Ayam Cemani 5 stars. Roosters are gentlemen; smart, wary, prolific. Hens are drama queens, for sure! Egg song goes on and on...
Such pretty birds, definitely worth an investment. True Cemani are relatively uncommon in the States still. Do your research into your breeder!

Pros: Friendly
Curious
Prolific layer
Bold
Cons: Nope!
Curious, friendly, companionable. Love this breed! Great size for a backyard flock, willing to investigate new things and keep me company when I'm out in the garden.
Bottom of the pecking order and seems just fine with it, silly things.
Can't comment on meat quality, as we keep them as pets and egg birds.

Pros: Ridiculously cute
Great mom
Good top hen
Propensity to be friendly
Cons: Broody frequently
We've had several of this breed now, and are big fans. Hens are incomparable moms, roos are good at their jobs and friendly. Some of this is due to raising, we know.
Broodiness can be a problem. Crest can impare vision, which is funny and dangerous.
Don't keep this bird for eggs, as others have said. Do keep them for amusement, companionship, incubator/brooder combo... You get the idea!
