The best kind of chicken that you see commerically used for eggs are the White Leghorns. This is because the cost is low to feed them for the eggs that they produce. If you want brown shelled eggs, the heartiest breed is the Rhode Island Red.

Wyandottes and Orpingtons are very good egg layers - and very good chickens in general, but be wary of broodiness (the hens refusing to get off the nest because they are trying to hatch an egg - during which they will stop laying temporarily).
