Thanks so much! Going to check out those links. I think the ameraucana-style easter eggers may be one of my favorites. Liking they come in different colors, and didn’t know about the winter eggs! Thats a plus!!I'm gonna throw out a vote for Easter eggers. Noting for point #9 that most all lay through the first winter but will molt and take a break from laying by their 2nd winter. Many of us add in a couple new layers each year to combat this lull in production, selling off a couple older (least favorite) layers earlier in the year while still productive (with disclosure) if needed to make space.
Also including a couple of comparison charts..
