I see. Do you know of any other breeds that are great layers and the males are pretty fast growing? Any specifically recommended?
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, and Cornish would be good. I've also heard good things out Chanteclers, but never raised them myself. Iowa Blues are very fast maturing and very good layers, but they aren't as large as the other breeds I mentioned. Stay away from dark colors. Black pin feathers suck!
