If I could only have one kind of chicken forever, it would be Delawares. They are just smart and friendly and healthy and very reliable layers. Two things: they peck at people's clothes (I've heard other people say this too) and they have a really hard molt once a year that makes them lose more feathers than the other hens: picture a pillow exploding. Sometimes there's a few days during their molt where they have difficulty walking -- they do a weird backwards walking thing. They get over it, though.

I loved my EEs but will not have them again. The other chickens loved to peck at their cheek fluffs, to the point where one of my EEs went blind. Because of the bullying, they often didn't want to come into the henhouse at night.
