Meat breeds

[FoodFreedomNow]

I don't think we do, but we have something called a Sommerlad which is apparently australia's version of them. I don't know what their like or even if I can get my hands on them. They are pretty hideous though haha they have transylvanian naked neck genetics in them.

I hadn't heard of Sommerlads before, so I did a little research - they sound intriguing, esp. since they're specifically bred for your conditions there. From the Sommerlad website: "Sommerlad 'naked neck' chickens...have a greater level of heat tolerance due to the lack of feathers around their neck." Not all of the chickens look like that (based on the pics) - some look like Barred Rock types and other mixes.

Now that's sensible - breed for characteristics that help the chickens survive/thrive where they live!
