HOMEBRED MEAT BIRD

[JoJo 95]

I plan on starting my own small hatchery/egg and meat company. I want to breed my own meat hybrid that has these characteristics:
fast growing
clean yellow or white skin
easy to raise
large
naturally reproductive
lays a good number of eggs(at least 3 a week per bird)
broody
Anyone knows what breeds I could use and what pattern to breed in? Some breeds I was considering are:
Dark Cornish
White Giants
White Wyandotte
White Rocks
Anyone who can add own breeds or tell me how to do this, please do.

Im asking a genetics question. I already looked. I cant find any in the meat forum.

You might want to read through this thread. This seems to be a topic that comes up from time to time without any real clear answer.

From what digging around I have done, my conclusion is that someone who wants to make this happen is going to have to undertake a selective breeding program for a few generation before they have something approaching what they hope for in a sustainable type meat bird.
