Hi! I'm new :)

[Firekracker]

I happened to come across this site while researching info on raising chickens. I'm hoping to learn a lot since I will be getting my very first flock soon! I did grow up on a farm and we did have chickens but this will be MY first flock of my very own Can someone suggest a good breed that is dual purpose? (Both eggs and then meat later). I look forward to chatting with you all!
