out of the three? pros/cons

[ra]

we have some rir crossed with american game right now. there still chicks. i have been looking around and came up with theses three breeds. australorp, plymouth rock and road island reds. i myself like the first two the best but its mainly looks. are any better then the other? pros/cons? they will be used for both meat and eggs. probly more eggs then meat. any ideas. we are also in the city so the less noise the better.

thanks for any ideas

Of those three, I think the Australorps are the best dual-purpose bird. I have 1 of each and the Australorp is the biggest by far. She also lays good sized eggs. Not to mention that their black color is very beautiful.
