Breeding questions

[UBkevy]

I am interested in trying to breed a strain of chicken for my environment and my needs. Does anyone have any good websites with information or suggestions for me. I plan to spend a rather long time planning this out and at the earliest I would start next spring. My goal is an above average large egg layer, with quality meat 7lbs or so, a faster maturing rate, heat and cold tolerance as well as moisture with occasional broodiness and even temperament. A cool egg color would be nice as well haha.

I've found a lot of good information in these publications by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy

Sounds like you are trying to produce the prefect chicken.

The search function on BYC will be your best friend I believe.

How much MONEY, facilities, and time do you have to spend on this venture to develop a perfect chicken ?
