Other: Cornish cross. For now anyway.

I'm pleased by the growth of my black orp x dark cornish cockerel though. He looks like he's going to make a great meal at 18 weeks, having already outgrown his mother in size at 15 weeks.

Other: for non chickens and all meat birds in general: Heritage turkeys
for chickens: our Mutt roo X dual purpose birds.. sure they may take longer than a Cornish X but the flavor makes the wait worth it!

Other: We prefer the Chantecler for meat quality. They develop quickly even while pastured, are active birds full of muscle not fat, and have a tender meat with a nice texture. We butcher our boys rather early at 3-4 months, so they were very mild in taste.
For flavor we really liked the Buckeye. It may sound ironic, but they seem to have an earthy nutty taste. lol.
