How are you today? I noticed you wanted to raise some meat birds, so I though I o=would answer you here.
We raised cornishX broilers before, and we didn't like the taste of their meat, and they are VERY messy. I raise black sex link roosters for meat, and we really like them. (since most hatchery's can't get rid of them, you would probably get them for pretty cheap). You might want to look into freedom rangers. A lot of people I know raise them, and really like them. Hope this helps! Have a great evening!
