My favorite chicken breeds have always been Buff Orpington and Barred Rock. Brown eggs, sometimes speckled, good layers year-round.
Here is a good site to read through if you’ve never had laying hens before:

Buffs are great! They seem more likely to fall to predators than some breeds, though... :-(
Thank you due the info!
