Just wanted to post a pic of the caponed roo I found online....stunning results on building a meaty carcass from that method! Seriously reviewing this method and thinking over the possibilities.

Now that bird is a bit of a porker isn't it! Seriously some of us are trying to learn to caponize and there is a thread for it; https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/675898/graphic-pics-of-my-day-learning-to-caponize

What about...
Black Australorp X White Leghorn OR Ancona

Delaware X Buckeye

What good stuff could I get with Delaware, Buckeye, Black Australorp, Columbian Rock, Speckled Sussex, Whiite Leghorn, Ancona, Dominique...??? What for meat & what for good layers?

I think my main stays are going to be Delaware, Columbian or White Rock, Light Sussex for my meat birds. Mix the first 3 with sussex hen. Both Delaware and Sussex grow pretty big and the Sussex has large breast size. Same with Speckled. I was just trying to keep it white or mostly so. Dominique is small. I hear good things about Buckeye as meat but too cold hardy for my 8b heat zone.I was going to do white dorkings because of fabulous meat taste but it's fragile and slow growing. I don't know much about the others. I am going to buy a couple of production red roo to breed red sex links with my 4 white bird hens. I think all my choices are good egg layers. Light sussex lays more than speckled. Hope this helps.

edited: additional Definitely a black sex link with BA x leghorn not sure about the other. I'm not perfect on this. I made a comment on the sex link thread and got a verbal slapdown from the main guy. It is a good thread and his first entry has a ton of into of different links.
