Self-Sustaining Meat Chickens?

[sunny022]

Dorkings. I'm trying to do the same thing. Currently looking for dorkings bred based on APA Guidelines.

Are there meat chicken breeds that can be self-sustaining? I know Cornish X Rocks cannot if you want it true to breed. I don't want to rely on someone else all the time for my meat chickens, kinda defeats the self-sustaining thing. lol Thanks in advance!

There isn't good Dorking stock available, you could try White Bresse. It taste as good as Dorking. My guess White Breese maybe Dorking x White Cornish (show quality) along time ago.

I hink I already have my DHs Aunt lined up as a customer, and we don't have them yet either! Lol And it's my DH trying to postpone my efforts lol

Thanks!! We eat one whole chicken per meal. Ideally, we would try to have chicken 3-4 days a week. At this point, I only want to sell eggs. My husband has 2 people lined up already and he hasn't built the coop yet nor we have gotten the chickens. Lol Patience, dear husband, patience.
