If you had to choose just 2-3 hens: help me start!

RIR are great layers but mine tend to be a bit more independent.. I have 4 black stars that are super layers, beautiful and extra sweet.. I swear it seems like one of em says Hello everytime I see her.. but that could just be me..

My Barred Rocks are great too...( but I have heard some ppl say they are somewhat aggressive but mine arent)..

I have some red stars that are only about 8 weeks old but are so friendly, one loves you to sit in the pen with her and hops on your lap.

I love my Wyandottes, Cochins and my little Buttercup is turing out to be a good hen.

Only 3

then I'd choose a Black Star, A Blue Andalusian and an EE. You'd get 3 different colored eggs and the Black Star would make sure you got at least one a day and each girl would be a different color as well.
