White rocks are really great chickens with gentle roosters and they lay ex large, jumbo, eggs.

Hello everyone.
My daughter is in 4-H and we have joined the chicken group. I have been reading the posts for the past few weeks, but she has been doing research on her own, she will be 10yrs old next month. We have a meeting on Sunday and we are going to order chickens from McMurray Hatchery. We are going to build (or buy) a coop in the next couple of months and she will eventually show her chickens at the 4-H fair.
She would like to get RIR, but after reading the posts, I don't know if that is such a great idea. We are looking for a bird that also produces eggs (that is how I sold my husband on the idea of having chickens!!) My daugher will be responsible for taking care of the chickens and I will help out.
Any ideas for easy going chickens that are also good egg layers?
Thanks so much!!
