What breeds of meat birds (if you know yet)?

CX but I'm actually going to do an experiment this time... Ordering 40 Cobb500 and 40 Ross708 and see how they perform on a head to head trial.

I'm seriously thinking about starting a thread to chronicle the trial. I've raised both strains with lots of variables making things unequal, so no way to determine which does better for me. This time all things will be equal and the decision will be driven by feed conversion, mortality and yield... When I do it right I'll get a mix of 4.5-6 pound birds dressed. 5 pounds and under stay whole for roasting and the bigger birds get cut-up. I like to get a pound to a pound and a half of boneless, skinless breast meat and the same for six tenders.

Yes, that’d be a wonderful thread! If you start it leave a link and I’ll follow along.
