What is the best egg laying cold hardy chicken breed?

[MairyMai]

Hello BYC,

I am looking into getting some new chickens, and was wondering what you guys think the best could weather hardy and egg laying breed is?

I’d say australorps. When I was researching what chickens I could get australorps frequently came up as a good solid layer. If not them then I’d recommend rir or leghorns.
