We want to breed some chickens for meat only. We have no interest in layers, as we already have our laying chickens ordered, I always go with golden comets (their a red sex link). I was going to order one of the special heavy breed assortments, but now I'm thinking of getting something I can breed to have a continuous supply of meat birds all year. What is a good breed to use? Is this even a good idea when I can get Cackle's all heavy breed fry pan special for around $40 including shipping per 100 birds. 100 birds is alot to process at one time. I'm thinking if I can adjust the numbers ready to butcher throughout the year. So what do you think?
