New Hampshire hens or Delaware hens

[Jesus loves me]

Hello, I am planning on getting some chicks in the next couple of weeks and am trying to decide between New Hampshire Hens or Delaware Hens. The other breeds of chickens I am planning on getting are Buff Orpington, and Brahmas. Just wanted to see if anyone had these breeds and liked one better than the other. All the chicks will be hens. They are going to be used for their eggs. Thank you!

I have had Delaware hens, and I was pleased with them. For a dual purpose bird, they had a better carcass and were good egg layers. Sometimes they can be tricky to get.
