Suggest a chicken breed for Pakistan

[Poultry4Health]

I want to keep chicken for eggs and also for meat. I have a choice between Rhode Island Red and Australop. Temperatures in Islamabad range from - 2 to + 43 degrees Celcius. I don't want to use commercial feeds. Please help me decide.

I personally like RIR's way better than Australorps. I also get more meat and eggs from my RIR's than I ever did from Australorps.

Vote number 2 for RIR's! Mine was the best! And they can get big too.

Well if you're wondering where I live bc you're curious about the climate, where I live it is low humidity, low precipitation, cool winters, and warm summers. It can get as low as -16 degrees Fahrenheit and as hot as 105 degrees Fahrenheit.

You are right I wanted to know the climate. Grateful.

I have two votes for RIR compared to zero for Australop.

I’d say Rhode Island Red as well. They’re very hardy and lay well.
