What is your best recommendation for a mostly meat chicken breed that could produce eggs while waiting for the need for more fresh chicken meat? Any suggestion cannot include Cornish X. #homestead #chicken

depends on your climate, and i like the tame ones
australorpe! orpingtons!
but a simple duckduckgo search would suffice ;)
You know, you can simply answer without being a passive aggressive prick. I appreciate your input, but for some reason you always throw an insult on the end. Fear of rejection? We’re all nice here, no fear.
nah, i just assume wasted verbiage and a lack of personal research, usually
now ask me about raising ostriches ;)
I ask because I want anecdotal evidence first hand, not because I’m a lazy moron who doesn’t know how to utilize the internet, or has an attention deficit. Thanks for your concern though. 😏
well now you can reframe my duckduckgo comment as, "go verify what i say if you'd like, and look at other options i don't want to waste time typing out"
and i also am "emperor" and have multiple inputs that i sometimes have to address at any given time, so sometimes i'm particularly "snappish" or "stab-by", in case anyone is wondering
Less insulting, but if typing conversation with others is a waste of your time, why the hell are you here interacting?
Hey nostr:npub14eng8plhflea40cu3lafnw6nwkxsp5te2v7hzy74lz6a9mjhpaks0wm4rw
depends heavily on your context.
Thers no best.
Thers best for your situation.
We havd tried three different multipurpouse so far.
We changed to Australorps cause our context changed.
But Australorps is not the answer for everything. You got to have space for them to work right.
Appreciated. I have lots of space, I’ll try a few and see how it goes. It does get really hot here. The price of admission is pretty low.
I wouldn’t expect the meat to be what Cornish X is, but is it excessively stringy like an old rooster good only for soup, or reasonably tender in your experience?
Have not taken any of the Australorps yet.
For meat quality it would be maybe the
Mechelner
Thease are quite large dualpurpose and not hard to keep. We've had them in the past. Really impressive animals.
