Is this a decent Dual Purpose Breed? I am more interested in meat.
What is the average grow out time?

I've never raised the cockerels for meat but I know of folks that do. I think 16-20 weeks will yield a respectable carcass weight yet still won't be tough.

Do you know on average how many eggs per week?
