best breed for dual? Not pets.

[Fox&hen]

what breeds are the best all around duals for warm muggy summers and sometimes pretty cold weather? any HELP is a must! lol

So far my Delaware's are exceptional. The get nice big and plump. Even when not handled a lot they are not agressive as far as non pets. The ladies lay a nice big brown egg a day.

its hard to beat rhode island reds or barred rocks.

I tend to agree with Barred Rocks as well.

Depends on what you mean by cold weather. If your coldest temperatures don't get below zero Fahrenheit, any of the duals will work for you. If it gets colder than 0*F, I'd suggest a bird with a smaller comb, such as Wyandotte, Chantecler, or Buckeye to reduce the chance of frostbite. I believe the Wyandotte may be a bit larger than the other two, so my vote would be Wyandotte.

Any of them really it really comes down to the color of the animal because most dual purpose breeds are near to being the same.
