Selecting Meat Birds

[wildthingsfarm]

I am new to meat birds, though we have been raising layers for a little over a year now. I am interested in getting a batch of meat birds, but I don't think we want something that has been as harshly bred as the Cornish X. I do want something that will grow a bit more quickly than the DP birds, but something that will satisfy the people in search of "organic and natural". Any suggestions?

I've had good luck with Pioneers. (AKA Dixie Rainbow)
