    What to buy?

    I'm thinking of ordering several chicks to raise just for the meat. It doesn't matter what they look like or how fast they develop. What would be a good breed to buy for "dinner chickens"?

    Magpies and Cayugas

    My daughter has a Magpie male and a Cayuga female. I thought I read somewhere that the cayuga was a foundation breed for the Magpie. Does that mean that they can successfully breed? My daughter is hoping for a batch of ducklings this spring. If not, I'll have to try to find a female for Louie.
