As a commercial product, the hybrids are here to stay, that is what I would use if had to put my money on the line, the numbers just don't lie. But, for home consumption I think there could be a future for standard bred poultry. I got BR this year and we are at 33 weeks and still waiting for the first egg. Granted I think they may have good meat qualities, but something is askew here. I will try to speed these birds up and make them more productive, but so much damage has already been done. I need partners or maybe we need working groups to improve the productivity of our most beloved breeds.
