"Rhode Island Red's are sweet, good laying chickens, but I have heard better reviews from Araucana's. These are brown chicken's who are the friendliest chicken on the list. They lay green, turquoise, and blue eggs. Even though the chicken's are skinnier than normal, they love to be held and lay normal-sized eggs."
