I thought it was just 'me'. Today, at the feed store, I ran into another 'fan' and owner of Production (reds).
The two of us agreed that there just isn't a better chicken. They are sweet, personable, great egg layers, stupendous setters, and will capture your heart in a short time.
Six years ago, I adopted a year old girl, who had been raised in a family, by children. They had carried her, petted her, and made a pet out of her. I'm finding this isn't so unusual with this breed and they are really east to tame, even at an adult age.
"Bessie" has hatched out fertilized eggs for me and was an excellent mother. I recently lost a hen, and thinking it was HER, I kind of lost interest for several months until a recent move, and I discovered, Happily, that 'Bessie' was alive and well!! (She's the only one who WILLINGLY let me pick her up!) I've never been happier, and glad to have my old friend back.
I'm so impressed with this breed, that after a long search, decided to make my future flock ALL Production Reds.
I'm picking up the chicks in two days! 
You can't do better for all around chickens, than Production Reds.
