I want a meat bird flock to free range. I have a good mobile coop, plenty of pasture/woods, plan to use electric fence, would like to use as little feed as possible. None, if possible. I have horses and lots of available compost.
In your opinion, what's a good breed to consider for this?
I don't want something that's going to eat itself to death, or get cranky and mean if it doesn't get feed. The whole idea of a bird having a heart attack or blowing out a leg because of weight just makes me shudder.
