The Rhode Island Reds are my actually my favorite; great duel purpose breed, XX large brown eggs (and unbelievable double yolkers on occasion), look good scratching around the yard. Grew up with them but when it comes down to economy of egg production I would have to believe that the leghorns are the better choice.
