other things to consider, weather in your area and if they need to be of a calmer breed due to handeling by children. some are nicer then others.
some good breeds for laying brown eggs and are friendly
barr rocks
bluff orphingtons
New Hampshire reds
austrolops
jersey giants (very friendly but get rather large)

good luck
try buff orpingtons they lay about 6 eggs a week and if you don't get the eggs they hatch and you can save money

∙ 13y agoSeveral breeds lay claim to the largest eggs. If you wish to raise chickens that lay extra large eggs, I would suggest you start with a flock of the following standard size breeds.
Leghorn, Jersey giant, Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island reds, Wyandotte and Delaware.
If you allow them to cross breed, you will get great eggs in fairly good quantity.
In our farms experience... Brown eggs, Moyers form the Moyer Hatchery. White eggs, production Leghorns bred for broilers (lots of Jumbo double yokes!).
